I modified this recipe after looking at other donut recipes calling for 5 TBSP of butter or 1 cup of sugar. These are much healthier and still taste delish!!
Baked Protein Donuts
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 beaten egg (I beat the whole egg and just use half,, add the other half to my morning scrambled eggs)
1/2 cup almond milk, can use any kind
1 TBSP plain Greek yogurt
2 TBSP butter
1/4 cup stevia or less to taste
cinnamon for dusting, can also use a cinnamon sugar mix
Start by mixing the egg, butter, stevia and Greek yogurt together. Then add the sifted dry ingredients and milk. Pour into your donut or muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes. Makes 5 donuts.
Each donut has 117 Calories, 5.5g fat, 9.6g carbs and 7.7g protein.
You can change this up by using all butter and no Greek yogurt. This will make them more fluffy but more calories and fat. You could also use all flour instead of protein, 3/4 c. flour if you omit the protein or any combination of protein and flour to make 3/4 cup.
