Who says eating healthy has to be boring and dreadful. Take your Donut to the next level.
Flavor: Cinnamon Roll Donut
What you will need:
all purpose flour (king Arthur) (1/4 cup)
baking powder (1/4 tsp)
whey protein isolate powder (1 scoop)
whole eggs (2)
Cinnamon (1/4 tsp)
Almond Milk (1 tbsp)
allulose sugar ( 2 tbsp)
Brown sugar (2 tbsp)
butter (melted, 1 tbsp)
vanilla Extract (1tbsp)
Feel free to adjust the ingredients as you wish. Each of these are easily replaceable. they work great with oat flour or any other protein powder. I find it best to use a isolate protein for better baking consistency.
WHY USE WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE:
Whey protein isolate is far superior to just your average protein powder blend. One of the main differences is that whey isolate provides faster/better absorption into the blood stream. If you suffer from lactose then I would recommend finding a isolate protein because its a cleaner form of protein.
WHY USE ALLULSOE SUGAR:
Sugar is in everything that we consume, and sometimes we don't even know how much sugar we consume on a daily basis. A high sugar diet is one of the main causes for diabetics especially type 2. I use "swerve" sugar replacement because it has great benefits being; gluten free, low on enthyrol (type of sugar), and no high glycemic index.
What is glycemic index;
- the glycemic index is important because it deals with sugar levels in the body known as glucose. When we eat high sugar foods we notice a "sugar rush" feeling. This is due to our body's glucose (sugar) rising and if your a diabetic this can be very dangerous to your health. Consuming allulose sugar does not raise your glucose level which is ideal for a healthier diet, making it perfect for everyone because sugar is in everything and why add to our consumption.
What is enthyrol:
- it is a chemical altering sugar that is found in most "sugar free" food items. When baking with the brand swerve I find it best to other sugar replacements due to its low levels of enthyrol.
