Servings: 6 Protein Donuts
Calories: 120kcal
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp 21g Coconut Flour
- 1/2 scoop 16g Protein Powder, vanilla
- 1/4 C 26g Graham Cracker Crumbs, or 2 large sheets, crushed
- 3/4 C 170g Fat-Free Greek Yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 3 Tbsp 46g Liquid Egg Whites, or white from 1 whole egg
- 3 Tbsp 45mL Walden Farms Syrup, or sticky sweetener
- 1/4 C 10g Marshmallow Bits
- 1 1/2 Tbsp 21g Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1/2-1 Tbsp Stevia or 0-Cal Sweetener to taste (if you use plain Greek yogurt)
Donut Glaze/Toppings
- 2 Tbsp 28g Dark Chocolate Chips
- 2 Tbsp 30mL Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 2 Tbsp 5g Marshmallow Bits, optional
- 1 Tbsp 6g Graham Cracker Crumbs, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix dry ingredients (except chocolate chips and marshmallow bits) in a medium-sized bowl. (If you're using plain Greek yogurt and want a sweeter donut, add stevia or sweetener here.)
- Add Greek yogurt, egg whites, and Walden Farms syrup to dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Add marshmallow bits and chocolate chips to batter and stir.
- Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, transfer the mixture to your donut pan. Be sure to wipe away excess from the pan so the donuts don't connect during baking.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes.
- After baking, remove the donuts from the pan to cool on a plate or cooling rack. While donuts cool, microwave 2 tablespoons (28g) chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons almond milk for 20-30 seconds until melted. Stir chocolate until you have a smooth chocolate sauce.
- Using a spoon, drizzle chocolate on top of your donuts before adding graham cracker crumbles and marshmallow bits should you choose.
Notes
- Each donut has 4 Smart Points.
- Per Donut without any frosting/toppings: 94 Calories | 6.8P | 11.8C | 2.2F
- If you want more protein, you can add 1/2 scoop protein powder (16g) and 3 Tbsp (46g) liquid egg whites to the batter. Your macros here would be: 134 Calories | 10P | 15.2C | 3.7F per donut
- If you wanted to reduce the calories in your glaze/toppings, you could use something like my ultimate protein frosting or the fat-free cream cheese frosting used for my double chocolate protein donuts.
- If you’d like to leave protein powder out entirely, you could add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour to accommodate.
