Ingredients
- Protein Powder - You will need 30 grams of vanilla flavored protein powder and 20 grams of cookies & cream protein powder. The protien powder I use is by the brand Prozis. You can use the code KATIE10 for 10% off on their website if you want to check them out!
- Oat Flour - 15 grams of oat flour (about 2 tbsp). I use the Prozis Instant Oats Powder and it is the king of all oat flours! It acts & tastes just like regular flour and because it is so ground up, it makes your baked goods so fluffy!
- Pecan Flour - 10 grams of pecan flour (2 1/4 teaspoons). You can also use almond flour or any nut flour of choice.
- Coconut Flour - 5 grams of your favorite coconut flour (about 1 teaspoon). Prozis makes a great one.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder - 5 grams (about 1 teaspoon) of unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Swerve - 1/2 teaspoon of granular Swerve, or any zero calorie sugar substitute of choice.
- Baking Soda - 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Greek Yogurt - 1/4 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt (50 grams).
- Sugar Free Breakfast Syrup - 1/8 cup of your favorite sugar free breakfast syrup. I just use my local grocery store brand named kind.
- Egg Whites - 3 tablespoons of liquid egg whites. You could also use one large egg if you do not have gg whites on hand.
- Chocolate Chips - 10 grams of Lily's sugar free dark chocolate chips, or your favorite brand of sugar free chocolate chips.
- Caramel Syrup - 2 tablespoons of your favorite sugar free caramel syrup. As mentioned above, I use the brand Enlightened.
- Sea Salt - to taste.
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (I did for about 5 minutes while I was mixing my ingredients).
- Combine all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl except for the caramel syrup until fully incorporated.
- Spray two mini cast iron skillets with nonstick spray. Divide the batter evenly between the 2 skillets. The measurements of my mini cast iron skillets are about 4” x 6 1/2”.
- Add the caramel syrup in the middle of the batter.
- Air fry at 300 for 5-6 minutes (5 minutes for a gooey center or 6 if you want it more cake-like)
- Enjoy immediately!
Nutritional Perks
Here are some awesome nutritional benefits to the ingredients in these pumpkin spice donut holes:
- Oats - Oats are full of whole grains and a type of fiber called beta-glucan, which helps with cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and helps keep you fuller longer. They are also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant plant compounds.
- Pecan Flour - Pecans are a great source of vitamin E, which is an antioxidant & helps balance free radicals in the body. My favorite pecan flour is by the brand Rancho Pecanna.
- Coconut Flour - Coconut flour is great for digestion due to its high fiber content. It is good for heart health and promotes good blood pressure as well.
- Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt is high in protein as well as calcium, which is good for your bones! It is also rich in vitamin B12.
