Ingredients

150 g peaches diced, about 1 large or 2 small
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
15 g coconut oil 1 tablespoon
30 g oat flour 1/4 cup
30 g gluten-free flour 1/4 cup, or all-purpose
20 g Promix vegan vanilla protein powder 1 scoop, or sub with additional flours or other plant-based vanilla protein
1 teaspoon baking powder
generous pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top, *optional

For icing drizzle

1 tablespoon coconut butter + milk or water to thin 1 tablespoon, *optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F convection bake.
Combine the peaches, eggs, coconut oil, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl and stir to combine.
Add the oat flour, gluten-free flour, protein powder, baking powder and salt to the bowl and stir to combine.
Scoop the batter into four equal amounts and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with some turbinado sugar on top (optional) and bake for about 15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
While the fritters cool for a few minutes, mix together the coconut butter and milk (or water). Heat in the microwave in short burst until warmed. Add liquid until you get an icing-like consistency. Spoon the icing over the fritters.

Notes

*If omitting the protein powder, just increase either the oat flour or gluten-free flour by 20g to compensate.

**I'm partial to Promix vegan vanilla protein powder for baking, but most other plant-based pea proteins will also work well. I do not recommend using other types of protein powder (like whey or beef isolate), they affect the consistency of baked goods too much.
