It is no secret that I absolutely love donuts. I don’t care what kind they are, if you put some donuts in front of me, I will smash all of them. My brother and I once raced to see who could at a dozen donuts first. Anyway, these BLUEBERRY PROTEIN DONUTS absolutely hit the spot.
Mmmmmm protein donuts…. check out the video recipe below!
I love that they are low-calorie, healthy, and packed with protein because that just means I can eat like 4 and not feel so bad about myself! Ha, I am kind of kidding but not really.
When I’m around dessert, things get crazy. I think that is a lot of the reason why I started MacroChef. I am not sure where I got my sweet tooth from, but it is extreme. When I first started cooking, I thought, “Hey if I make the recipes healthy and packed with protein, and lower calories, then I can eat a lot more!” And so we have morphed into this today where I make goodies like these blueberry protein donuts.
These donuts were actually really simple to make. I used my Lil Buff Gut Buster Blueberry Mix. You can use that link to get $3 off your order of $20 or more, or you can use my code “CAKE-MACROCHEF” for the same discount on Lil Buff website. This flavor is called Gut-Buster Blueberry because it has the BIOHM Super Greens powder with 20+ whole greens and probiotics! Perfect to make these blueberry protein donuts.
They make protein cake mixes that are super easy. Literally all you have to do is add a few ingredients, mix and microwave. Of course, you microwave if you are making a mug cake. But, you can make all kinds of things with their protein cake mix. I made these donuts, and I really want to try making a loaf of protein bread using it!

Description
This recipe is for some easy, delicious and protein-packed blueberry donuts. They are filled with juicy, fresh blueberries and then topped with a vanilla protein glaze and sprinkles!
Ingredients
Donuts
2 packages Lil Buff Gut Buster Blueberry Cake Mix
2 egg whites
1/4 cup cashew milk
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Vanilla Protein Glaze
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
1 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp. honey*
3–4 tbsp. cashew milk**
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Add blueberry cake mix to a bowl. Next, add egg whites, cashew milk and applesauce. Mix until a smooth batter forms. Stir in blueberries. Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray. Pour donut batter into a gallon ziplock bag. Cut end off and use bag to pipe the batter into the donut pan (makes 8 donuts, I made mine in 2 batches since the donut pan only has 6 spots). Bake 350F for 12-15 minutes (or until a knife comes out clean). Better to under bake them a little bit than bake too long and let them dry out. Once donuts are cooked, let them cool while making the vanilla protein glaze. Mix all glaze ingredients in a bowl. Dip cooled donuts into the glaze. Sprinkle with sprinkles if desired. Enjoy!
