Homemade Double Chocolate Protein Doughnut

I was craving something chocolate and my daughter and son suggested DOUGHNUTS!!! I never argue with that.  LOL.  But Of course I had to put my own little spin on it.  So these Homemade double chocolate protein doughnuts brought to you courtesy of my family. Delish!!! Not something you can eat everyday but great for a treat every now and again.

What you Need: 

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (I used Beachbody Recovery)

1/2 cup oat flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

4 tablespoons Cocoa Powder

3 tablespoons Truvia sweetener (or Stevia)

1/2 tsp Cardamom

1/4 tsp Coriander*

1/8 tsp Himalayan Salt

¼ cup egg whites (about 3 egg whites.  Do Not use whites from a carton)

1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil, melted

1-2 tbsp raw organic Honey (Add more or less to taste)

1/3 cup water (add more if needed)

Baking spray/oil 

**If you don’t have coriander and don’t ever plan on ever purchasing it just up the cardamom to 3/4 tsp.

For Glaze:

¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (We used enjoy life brand)

2 teaspoons unsweetened coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

What to do: 

Preheat oven to 325.  Mix all dry ingredients together in medium mixing bowl. Add egg whites, coconut oil & honey, stirring until well-combined. You can add a tad more or less water to achieve desired batter consistency which should be fairly thick. Mist mini donut pan with baking spray. Fill each mold 1/2 full with batter with a spoon or you can use a Ziploc bag to “pipe” it in. Bake 8 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

In small microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate chips 30 seconds at a time. Stir in between until completely melted and smooth.  Stir in milk and vanilla.  While glaze is still warm, dunk tops of each donut in glaze or drizzle across the tops with a spoon. We used a basting tool to get the fun lines.  Add some sprinkles on top for added fun!

Makes 12 mini donuts.

ENJOY!!!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for the Active Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to the Active Mom!

Mother’s Day is almost here. What better way to celebrate you then with some awesome active gear to enjoy your ‘Mommy Active Time’.

Here are a few awesome pieces that I found, that I thought any active momma would enjoy!

1. Salut the Sun Singlet II: $54 -I’m a big fan of lululemon. Their clothes may be more on the expensive side but I love the feel of the material and I have always had great luck with the quality too.
2. David’s Tea-Create your Own mug: $23 I thought this was a really neat alternative to pottery. Your Littles' can decorate the mug, bake and VOILA!!!
3. Glasstic Water Bottles: $24.95 For Mother’s Day save 25% on any Mom bottle. I am a big fan of reusing and conserving energy and not filling up our landfills with all those water bottles. Yes, they are recyclable but many people still throw them in the trash.
4. BUFF Headbands: $19 Not only are they comfortable but they have fun patterns. WIN! WIN! They are great for any ACTIVE Momma.

Happy Mother’s Day!!!
