ingredients
For the donuts:
- 1 scoop Crushed Tonic Vanilla Bean Collagen Creamer
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option)

For the glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp almond milk (or regular milk)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
directions
-
Preheat + prep.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with butter or coconut oil. -
Mix dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, collagen creamer, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. -
Mix wet ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, maple syrup, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. -
Combine.
Pour wet ingredients into dry, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing — this keeps the donuts fluffy. -
Bake.
Spoon or pipe batter into the donut pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch. -
Cool + glaze.
Let donuts cool for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for the glaze. Dip cooled donuts, then place on a rack to set.
