Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 ½ cups vital wheat gluten
  • 1 cup all purpose or bread flour plus extra for dusting
  • 2 tablespoons vegan vanilla protein powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup high protein non-dairy milk I like Ripple
  • ½ cup Greek-style vegan yogurt can be flavored and sweetened if you prefer, I used Cocojune Greek-style vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups organic powdered sugar
  • spray oil optional

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups vital wheat gluten, 1 cup all purpose or bread flour, 2 tablespoons vegan vanilla protein powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup high protein non-dairy milk, ½ cup Greek-style vegan yogurt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until mostly smooth.
  • Pour in the wet ingredients and then mix with a spoon to work into a dough ball.
  • Lightly dust the surface with flour and use hands to form into a smoother dough ball. You do not need to knead it, just gently push the dough together to form it into more of a firmer dough.
  • Cut the dough into about 5 to 6 long pieces. Roll into a long log shape.
  • Cut the log shape into 7-10 pieces depending on how long it is.
  • Roll into balls.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with spray oil. Then place in as many donut hole as you can, leaving room for them to rise.
  • Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 7 minutes or until golden. Every air fryer works differently so your cooking times may vary.
  • Place into a large bowl. Optional to spray again with spray oil, then sprinkle 2 cups organic powdered sugar over top. Note: if you are not going to enjoy these all right away and will be enjoying over the course of a few days, coat them in the powdered sugar right before to ensure they stay fresh.
  • Shake the bowl vigorously to evenly cover the donut holes in powdered sugar. Enjoy immediately.
