Indulge in these decadent Boston Cream Protein Donuts, a perfect balance of flavor and fuel, packing an impressive 20 grams of protein per serving. Crafted with high-quality whey protein, they offer a satisfying boost to your daily macros, making them an ideal post-workout treat or a nourishing snack to keep you energized throughout the day.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut pan.

2

Follow the instructions for classic glazed donuts to make the donut batter and bake.

3

While the donuts are cooling, prepare the sugar-free vanilla pudding according to package directions.

4

Once the donuts are completely cool, use a piping bag to fill each donut with the vanilla pudding.

5

Melt the sugar-free chocolate and dip the top of each filled donut into the glaze.

6

Place the donuts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My donuts are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
