Craving for some donuts but worried about the calories?
Try these moist, chocolatey, and dense Double Chocolate Protein Donuts.
These donuts have less calories and have leaner macronutrient profile.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Flour (whole wheat, gluten-free, etc)
- 2 scoops Xtend PRO Chocolate Lava Cake Protein Powder
- 2 tbsp. Dark Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1 Whole Egg
- 1/2 cup Plain, Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp. Truvia Baking Blend
- 2 tbsp. Milk
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1/3 cup Dark Chocolate Chips (for topping)
- Sprinkles, optional (for topping)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325F. Add flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, add egg, Greek yogurt, Truvia, milk, and olive oil. Mix well. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gently stir together until a smooth batter forms.
- Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray. Pour batter into a piping bag or large ziplock bag. Cut off the end and pipe the batter into 6 spots in the donut pan.
- Bake at 325F. for 6-7 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. It is better to under-bake them a little so that they do not dry out.
- Once cooked, let completely cool. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave. Dip each donut into the melted dark chocolate.
- Top with sprinkles if desired. They are also delicious with a bit of sea salt on top as well!
