📌 Just 5 min prep + 15 min bake — donuts made easy!
Step 1: Prepare & Blend Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Add cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl and mix in oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 2: Bake
Lightly grease a donut pan and divide the batter evenly between 6 molds. Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the donuts are set and lightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly before removing.
Step 3: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Step 4: Glaze & Enjoy
Dip each cooled donut into the glaze, let it set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Tips for Success:
Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for the smoothest texture.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, or lemon zest for flavor variations.
Store leftovers in the fridge — glaze just before serving for best results.
