Ingredients

Donuts

  • 1 scoop (35g) MusclePharm chocolate combat protein powder
  • 3/4 cup (90g) whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated stevia or erythritol
  • 1 tbsp. (5g) cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup milk (any milk is fine)
  • 1/2 cup (113g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • red food coloring

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 2 tbsp. (31g) reduced fat cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp. (32g) Sweet Spreads vanilla coconut butter
  • 3 tbsp. milk
  • 2 tbsp. granulated stevia or erythritol

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Mix protein powder, flour, stevia, cocoa, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix together milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Fold together wet and dry ingredients. Add food coloring and gently mix.
  2. Spoon batter into 6 spots in a donut pan and then one more in a muffin liner. Or you can wait and cook the donuts in two batches. Bake for 8-9 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
  3. Let donuts completely cool. You can put in the freezer for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
  4. Make donut glaze by adding coconut butter and cream cheese to a bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds to soften cream cheese and coconut butter. Add milk and stevia. Mix until smooth and well combined. Dip cooled donuts into glaze one at a time. Enjoy!
