Ingredients
– 1 small apple, chopped
– 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
– 2 Tbsp. unsweetened almond milk
– ¾ cup / 90 g oat flour
– ¼ cup / 25 g almond flour
– 2 scoops snickerdoodle Shakeology (or your preferred protein powder)
– 1 Tbsp. coconut sugar
– A pinch of cinnamon and cloves (for that warm, cozy flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the Apple
Begin by chopping up a small apple into small, bite-sized pieces.
Microwave the Apple
Place the chopped apple in a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 1 minute or until it becomes soft and slightly tender.
Blend the Apple Mixture
In a blender, combine the microwaved apple, pure vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk.Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency, making sure to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine oat flour, almond flour, snickerdoodle Shakeology (or your preferred protein powder), and a pinch of cinnamon and cloves.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually pour the apple mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir the mixture continuously until it comes together, forming a soft cookie dough-like texture.
Shape the Donut Balls
Now comes the fun part! Take the dough and shape it into 10 even-sized balls, each about 1½ inches (4 cm) in diameter. For that extra touch of sweetness, dust each of the donut balls with a sprinkling of coconut sugar.
