• Low-fat Greek yogurt – plain or flavored for a hint of sweetness
• Baking powder – for that perfect rise
• Sweetener of choice – monk fruit, stevia, or your favorite sugar substitute

For the Chocolate Coating

• Chocolate protein powder – for added nutrition and flavor
• Cocoa powder – deepens the chocolatey richness

Instructions to Make Snickers Doughnuts

Step 1: Prepare the Doughnut Batter

1. In a medium mixing bowl, crack one large egg and whisk until slightly frothy.
2. Add oat flour to the egg, followed by low-fat Greek yogurt (plain or flavored), which adds creaminess and moisture to the batter.
3. Stir in baking powder to help the doughnuts rise.
4. For sweetness, add your preferred sweetener (like monk fruit) to the bowl.
5. Add a tablespoon of either PB2 (powdered peanut butter) or cocoa powder for a hint of chocolate and nutty flavor.
6. To enhance the aroma, add a few drops of caramel or vanilla flavoring.
7. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a thick, smooth batter.

Step 2: Bake the Doughnuts

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Grease a nonstick doughnut pan lightly or use a silicone doughnut mold for easy release.
3. Pour the batter evenly into the doughnut molds, ensuring each one is filled but not overflowing.
4. Bake the doughnuts for 15 minutes or until they are firm to the touch and slightly golden around the edges.
5. Remove the pan from the oven and let the doughnuts cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Sauce

1. In a small bowl, combine chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder.
2. Add a small amount of melted butter and a splash of milk. Mix until smooth and creamy, adding more cocoa powder if needed to thicken.
3. Stir until the mixture forms a rich, chocolatey sauce.

Step 4: Decorate the Doughnuts

1. Dip each cooled doughnut into the chocolate sauce, coating it generously.
2. Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top to add that irresistible crunch.
3. Drizzle a light swirl of caramel sauce over each doughnut to complete the Snickers-inspired look and taste.

Tips for Perfect Snickers Doughnuts

• Consistency Matters: Ensure your batter is thick enough to hold shape but not so dense that it doesn’t rise.
• Experiment with Flavors: Try adding a hint of cinnamon or a drop of almond flavoring for a unique twist.
• Protein Power: Chocolate protein powder is an optional but tasty way to add a protein boost, making these an even more nutritious treat.
