Notes

Kidney Stone Diet® Notes: These are one of my all time favorite breakfast donuts. You will need to get some ingredients to make them, however. Here are the ones I use:

Expresso Powder

No-Sodium Baking Powder (this is a two pack bc the single packs are always out. But if you bake, you won’t mind as you will go through it)

Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder

Donut Mold

Sugar-Free Maple Syrup (another two-pack, but worth it as it is the best tasting one)

Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

Vanilla Paste

 

Ok, now that we have that done, believe me when I tell you these are great. With 22 grams of protein, you will be full for breakfast, but you’ll also love the taste. If you like chai, these are your new favorite no-added sugar treats. I have them with my morning coffee, but you can have them as a stand-alone snack!

You can skip the coffee ingredient if you like, but I love a richer flavor. I made it decaf and let it cool to put in the batter. With my morning coffee, I made a bit more so I could use it once it cooled down for the recipe.

I used Fage Greek yogurt as it is the thickest and will be the best “frosting” for your donut. The cloves are pretty strong in this, so I had to take the portions down on it, and after several recipe attempts, I settled on 1/8 teaspoon for the frosting.

The recipe says vanilla extract, which you can use, but the vanilla paste I use listed above is wonderful! Get some.

You, of course, can make these vegan by using nondairy yogurt and leaving out the chocolate chips, but not sure how thick the frosting will be. You can still drizzle the yogurt on, and it will be great as it’s really the spices that make it so good. Some of the spices used can be a tad bit high in oxalate, but the portion is not perfect, folks. You can easily make almost all foods work when you get your calcium needs met each day and watch your portion!
