Cooking with Kimmi - Optimum Nutrition Protein Chocolate Covered Donuts

These high-protein donuts are the perfect combo of sweet treat and smart fuel. We’re talkin’ fluffy, chocolatey, and packed with Gold Standard goodness.

Perfect for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or impressing your gym crush 👀

Ingredients
Donuts:

• 1 ripe banana (spotty = perfect)

• 1/4 cup milk of your choice

• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

• 1/2 cup oat flour (just blitz rolled oats if needed)

• 1 scoop Gold Standard 100% Whey (chocolate flavour = next level)

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Icing:

• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips

• 1 tsp coconut oil

• Optional: dash of milk to thin if needed

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. Mash the banana in a bowl until smooth. Stir in milk and maple syrup.

3. Add oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix until just combined.

4. Spoon the batter into a silicone donut tray. Smooth the tops with the back of your spoon.

5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until firm and springy.

6. Let cool completely in the tray before gently popping them out.

7. While they cool, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a small bowl—microwave or double boiler both work. Stir until glossy.

8. Dunk each donut in the chocolate icing or drizzle over the top. Let set for 5–10 mins (or pop them in the fridge for a faster fix).

Kimmi’s Tips:

• Add a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed nuts for crunch.

• Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate + protein peanut butter for a different vibe.

• Store in the fridge for 3–4 days (if they last that long).
