If you love lemon desserts, then you'll love these healthy, baked, lemon-flavored doughnuts made without eggs! Don't worry, they're still incredibly fluffy and contain added plant protein (that you can't even taste) for a filling and guilt-less summertime treat. Shredded coconut topping adds a chef's kiss, but is totally optional.

½ cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with gluten-free flour such as King Arthur’s)

¼ cup oat flour

1.5 scoops Growing Naturals Original Pea Protein (pea protein is a natural vegan egg replacer)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp baking soda
-
1/8 tsp salt
-
¾ cup coconut milk (or plant milk of choice)
-
3 tbsp. unsweetened coconut cream* room temp (or substitute with melted coconut oil or vegan butter)
-

¾ tsp lemon extract

1.5 tsp lemon zest

Dry Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
Lemon Glaze
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients and remove all clumps.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry and fold in with a spatula until thoroughly combined.
Place the dough in a medium sized ziplock bag or frosting bag and pipe it evenly into a 6 piece donut pan.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
While they bake, prepare the lemon glaze by mixing the sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip them into the glaze and top with shredded coconut for added flavor and crunch!
Note
Coconut cream is the solid part found in a can of unsweetened coconut milk. You can substitute it with melted coconut oil if needed.
Pea protein is one of the best natural egg replacers
Not only does pea protein function to replace eggs in this recipe, it also adds a nice hunger-curbing dose of plant protein to each donut.
