After months of trying to create the best possible protein donut recipe for the lowest amount of calories i've finally nailed it! As a Krispy Kreme addict these easy to make donuts are going to be my prep saviour! Oh & unlike the real deal these ones are gluten free 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.
