Healthy Matcha Protein Doughnuts

Donuts that are soft, sweet, and totally guilt-free? Yes, please. These matcha donuts by the super fabulous @healthyeating_jo are a fun way to bring café-style treats into your own kitchen—without all the extra sugar. Light, fluffy, and packed with a subtle green tea flavour, they’re baked (not fried!) and topped with a choice of matcha or rich chocolate icing. Perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up, a post-workout treat, or simply because donuts make everything better.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 tsp matcha powder 
  
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 
  
• 1/4 cup granulated Natvia 
  
• 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed 
  
• 1 Tbsp coconut flour 
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder 
  
• 1/4 tsp bicarb soda 
  
• 1/3 cup almond milk unsweetened 
  
• 1/4 cup liquid egg whites 
  
• 1/4 cup fat free yoghurt 
  
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Matcha Icing:

• 1 Tbsp coconut oil melted
• 1/8 tsp matcha powder 
  
• 2 Tbsp sugarfree Natvia icing sugar

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and lightly grease a doughnut pan with coconut oil.
2. Place the oats, matcha, protein powder, Natvia, flaxseed, coconut flour, baking powder, and bicarb soda into a blender and blitz until combined.
3. Add the almond milk, egg whites, yoghurt, and vanilla extract. Blend again until you have a smooth batter.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly into the doughnut pan. Bake for 10 minutes, until risen and lightly golden.
5. Remove from the oven and turn the donuts out onto a wire rack straight away. Allow to cool completely before icing

For the Matcha Icing:

1. In a small bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, matcha powder, and Natvia Icing Mix until smooth.
2. If you’d like a runnier consistency, stir in a splash of almond milk.

For the Chocolate Icing:

1. Place the chocolate melts and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water and stir until melted and smooth.
2. Remove from the heat and mix in the Natvia Icing Mix.

To Finish:

Dip each cooled donut into your icing of choice (or both if you can’t decide!) and decorate as desired. Enjoy!
