Homemade Cottage Cheese Donuts Recipe
Make a dozen of my fluffy, high-protein cottage cheese donuts in just 30 minutes. Top them with cinnamon sugar or a homemade glaze and sprinkles (I tested and love both topping options!).
Servings: 12
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup maple syrup brown sugar also works
- ½ cup blended 2% cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons blended 2% cottage cheese
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Optional Toppings
- Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Place all the wet ingredients, except the melted coconut oil, into a bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk together. Then, whisk in the coconut oil.
- Add the batter to a piping bag and then pipe batter into each donut well, about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350℉. Allow the donuts to cool before adding the glaze.
- Prepare the glaze. In a separate bowl, add the blended cottage cheese and powdered sugar and stir to combine. You may need to add more powdered sugar depending on how thick you want it.
- Coat half the donuts in cinnamon sugar and dip half the donuts in the glaze. Top the glazed donuts with rainbow sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.

Notes
- In step 6, feel free to coat or top the donuts in whatever you would like.
- Cinnamon sugar topping: Love cinnamon sugar donuts? Use ⅓ cup granulated sugar + 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon instead of the glaze and sprinkles.
