Donuts
- 1 scoop (40g) Protein Powder
- ¼ cup (30g) all purpose flour
- 1 whole egg
- ½ cup (113g) unsweetened applesauce*
- 2-3 tbsp. sugar free granular sweetener (more or less to taste)
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- 1 Butterfinger candy bar (50g), crushed
Chocolate Glaze
Notes
*I used unsweetened applesauce to keep these moist without having to add a lot of fat/oil. You can sub mashed banana, canned pumpkin puree, or even yogurt.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, whisk together protein powder, sweetener, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Gently stir together until a smooth batter is formed. Add the crushed Butterfinger and fold into the batter.
- Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray. Pour batter into a piping bag or small ziploc bag. Cut the end and pipe the batter into the donut pan to make 5 donuts.
- Bake at 350F for 8 minutes. Be careful not to overbake or they will dry out. Once cooked, let completely cool.
- Mix the chocolate glaze in a separate bowl. Make sure to whisk together until smooth. On a separate plate/bowl, add the crushed Butterfinger.
- Dip each donut in the chocolate glaze and then into the crushed Butterfinger. Enjoy!
