Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (choose either full-fat or low-fat based on preference)

1/2 cup smooth almond butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (for natural sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toppings: Choose from chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, fresh berries, or granola for a delightful finish.

Instructions
 

Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until fully combined. The batter should be thick yet manageable.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is warming, prepare your donut pan by lightly greasing it with a non-stick cooking spray.

        Fill the Donut Pan: Carefully spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each ring about 3/4 full. If needed, use a spatula to smooth out the tops for an even finish.

          Bake: Place the donut rings in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cool: Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Afterward, transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare Yogurt Topping: While the donuts are cooling, take the remaining Greek yogurt and mix it with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Once mixed, spread a thin layer of this sweetened yogurt over each cooled donut.

                Freeze the Donuts: Place the yogurt-topped donuts in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until they are completely frozen solid.

                  Top and Serve: Before serving, take the frozen yogurt donuts out of the freezer. Add your desired toppings, such as chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of granola.

                    Enjoy: Serve the Frozen Yogurt Almond Butter Donut Rings immediately for a delicious, healthy snack that perfectly balances creaminess with delightful crunch!
