Ingredients
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
3 tbsp butter (melted)
1 ¼ cups almond flour
½ cup protein powder
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp water
⅓ cup cream cheese
1 tbsp butter (for glaze)
4 tbsp sweetener
⅓ tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp candy sprinkles
Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, and 3 tbsp melted butter until smooth.
- Add almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and water. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the donut pan molds.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow donuts to cool before removing them from the pan.
- For the glaze, melt cream cheese and 1 tbsp butter together in a small bowl.
- Stir in sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and top with candy sprinkles.
- Serve fresh and enjoy.
Notes
Don’t overbake, as protein donuts can dry out quickly.
Use flavored protein powder to change up the taste.
For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt, cream cheese, and butter substitutes.
Add glaze and sprinkles only after reheating if storing ahead.
