Instructions
Prepare Apple Cider: 1 Heat apple cider in a small pot over medium until bubbling; Reduce to simmer and cook until reduced to ½ cup. 2 Should take about 25 minutes. Set aside to cool (about 10 minutes). Donuts: 4 Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray (or use a silicon pan). 5 In a large bowl, whisk reduced apple cider, almond milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter and egg. 6 In another bowl, mix flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, baking powder and baking soda. 7 Add dry mix to wet and gently fold with a large spoon until just combined.DO NOT OVER-MIX or the protein powder will make the batter tough. 9 Divide mixture evenly among donut pan cavities, filling about ¾ way up.Use a piping bag for a rounded bottom. 11 Bake for 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean. 12 Let cool for 5 minutes and remove from pan.Transfer to a cooling rack to cool. Topping: 15 In a bowl, whisk together sugar substitute, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. 16 Brush top of donuts with melted butter, or use finger tips to smear. 17 Dunk donuts in sugar mixture (or use a spoon to pour/sprinkle on top), shake off excess and set down on a cooling rack (dry side down).View original recipe
