Healthier Donut Holes
Ingredients:
- 3 cup Whole Grain Flour
- 50 g Whey Protein Powder
- 3 tbsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 4 tsp Sugar
- 32 oz Non Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
- 0 Powder Sugar
- 0 Cinamon Sugar
- 0 Cocoa
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease two mini muffin pans or silicone donut hole molds.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole grain flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt and sugar until evenly combined.
3. Add the Greek yogurt and stir with a sturdy spoon until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. You may need to finish mixing with your hands to incorporate all the flour.
4. Allow the dough to rest for approximately 10 minutes so the whole grain flour has time to absorb some of the moisture.
5. Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into small portions, rolling each into a ball approximately 1 inch in diameter.
6. Arrange the dough balls in the prepared mini muffin pans. Alternatively, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
7. Bake for approximately 15–20 minutes, until the donut holes are puffed, lightly golden and cooked through. Larger portions may need a few additional minutes.
8. While the donut holes are still slightly warm, prepare your toppings! Place powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar and cocoa powder in separate shallow bowls.
9. Roll the warm donut holes in your choice of topping until lightly coated. For a little variety, make three different batches!
10. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool slightly before serving.
All the fun of little donut holes without deep frying! The Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture, while the whole grain flour makes these a more substantial little treat.
