How to make healthy peanut butter and jelly protein donuts:
1: Prepare donut dough
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly coat a donut pan with a little oil or cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, Pescience Peanut Butter Delight Protein Powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine almond milk, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
2: Bake the donuts
Pour the batter evenly into the donut molds, filling each mold about 3/4 of the way. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3: Make the peanut butter frosting
In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add more almond milk as needed to reach desired frosting consistency.
4: Frost and add toppings
Once the donuts have cooled, brush each donut with a thin layer of peanut butter frosting. Add a small amount of strawberry jelly on top of the frosting. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on each donut for an extra crunch.
