What makes these decadent vegan matcha donuts good for us is that they are freshly baked with different types of protein-rich seeds, antioxidant packed matcha, and other health-giving ingredients. There isn’t any sugar, oil or dairy used in the recipe either - so you can snack on these delicious treats for breakfast without feeling any guilt.
The donuts consist of three kinds of healthy seeds; flaxseeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, which are packed full of protein and healthy fats, creating a nice texture and toasty flavor. The chocolate part of the recipe will also satisfy any sweet tooth.
