One of my favourite treats are doughnuts! There is nothing better than a fresh hot doughnut with a good glaze. Best part? If you have leftover frosting - place it in the freezer in a lined pan and it turns into a tasty fudge type treat! I make these once every two weeks, just because they store so well and usually have one as my afternoon snack. Packed with protein, healthy fats and complex carbs, these are a great alternative to the usual sugar loaded classic.

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
2tbspnatural peanut butter
3tbspchocolate protein powder
2tbsppure maple syrup/honey
10tbspmilk of choiceI used almond
Instructions
Combine the oil, nut butter, milk, egg, vanilla and vinegar in a bowl.
Add the oat flour, sugar, protein powder, salt, cinnamon and baking powder and *chocolate chips. Combine well until it forms a smooth runny batter.
Grease a doughnut maker or a doughnut pan. Pour in batter.
I used my mini doughnut maker machine that took approximately 2 mins to make the doughnuts. But if you’re using a pan that makes large doughnuts - place it in the oven at 180°C and bake for roughly 15-20 mins or a toothpick comes out clean. Take out and allow to cool. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whisk all ingredients together for the frosting. Dip doughnuts in and top with chocolate chips, crushed nuts or sprinkles.
Notes
I had some leftover frosting that I put into cupcake holders and placed into the freezer! It turned into a delicious peanut butter chocolate like fudge - so give it a try if you have extra frosting!
