Protein-Cottage Cheese Donuts – A Healthy and Tasty Treat

These light and protein-packed donuts are a delicious alternative to traditional fried ones. Soft, slightly chewy, and incredibly versatile, they can be coated in your favorite toppings for a satisfying and guilt-free dessert!


Ingredients

  • 250 g lumpy cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons baby semolina
  • 30 g protein powder

Procedure

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, egg, semolina, and protein powder until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Shape the Donuts:
    • Form small donut-shaped balls with your hands. If the dough is too sticky, lightly dust your hands with semolina.
  3. Cook the Donuts:
    • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
    • Carefully drop the donuts into the boiling water.
    • Once they float to the surface, let them cook for about 3 more minutes.
  4. Cool and Coat:
    • Remove the donuts from the water and let them cool slightly.
    • Coat them with your favorite toppings, such as grated coconut, ground nuts, poppy seeds, or cocoa powder.

Final Tip

For extra flavor, drizzle the donuts with honey, melted dark chocolate, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt. You can also serve them with fresh fruit for a refreshing twist!

Enjoy! 🍩
