These "donut holes" are vegan, gluten free, protein-packed and filled with delicious, vanilla flavor. They are my favorite thing to grab when I need something sweet, and the coffee glaze keeps them fun and interesting. They take minutes to make and they keep for forever, so I always have them on hand as a snacking staple!
1scoop protein powder, 43 grams, I like Garden of Life's newest blend! Code Justine20 as always :)
1/4cupdate syrup
2tbspcoconut oil, melted
1tspvanilla extract
1/2tspkosher salt
1/2loose cup of powdered sugar, 50 grams
1tbspbrewed coffee or espresso
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, protein powder, date syrup, coconut oil, vanilla and salt. Mix until you get a tacky dough, see blog post for more details and tips!
In another small bowl, whisk together the coffee and powdered sugar until you get a drippy glaze.
Roll the dough into 10 equal sized balls, about 1" in diameter each. Dip the tops of each ball in the glaze and place the undipped part down on a plate, letting the glaze slide down and cover the edges.
Store in the fridge for at least 5 minutes to let the glaze harden, and then they are ready to eat!
