Cinnamon-Apple Protein Donuts - a gluten free alternative to help you get your apple pie fix on a diet!
These are delicious cold or my personal preference is to have them warm from the oven/donut maker with warm apple filling too!
I invested in a donut maker to make these but you can make them using a regular donut mould in the oven. If you're a big donut fan it is definitely worth investing in a donut maker though as in my opinion it really does make a huge difference to the end result! You can buy one HERE.
