Banoffee Pie Protein Donuts
It's been a little while since I played with my donut maker (largely due to a lack of time now TEAM BOX have moved into our new office!) but I've finally got round to writing up this delicious recipe.
I've also just started a new YouTube Channel to share my food diary across the next 4 weeks as I diet for my upcoming holiday. If you fancy having a nose at what I'm eating every day CLICK HERE to be taken to my channel as I'll be sharing everything. I'll also be uploading full training videos soon too.
Anyway - back to banoffee. These delicious banana flavoured donuts are topped with a caramel sauce. However, this is caramel with a difference, the sauce is made using dates (this keeps the recipe higher in fibre & a little healthier) but if you fancy being more indulgent you could always use some caramel ice cream sauce instead.
I invested in a donut maker to make these but you can make them using a regular donut mould in the oven if preferred.
Servings: Makes 10 mini donuts (may vary depending on size of mould).
