I was scrolling through my Instagram today trying to decide what to make. I always try to see what I have made recently and change it up a bit so that I’m not making the same types of recipes every time. I realized that it has been a little while since my last batch of donuts so I figured it was about time I make some more.
My sister actually got back from Europe yesterday after touring different countries there for the past 25 days. She likes to bake with me so today she helped me make these confetti protein donuts.
They turned out perfect. The donuts are light, fluffy and full of flavor. They did not dry out like many protein baked goods often do. All they need is about 7 minutes at 350F and they are done. It is easy to forget about them in such a short period of time so don’t go too far from the kitchen!
One of my favorite parts about making something cake batter or confetti cake flavored is the awesome colors. It just makes it look so much more appealing with all of those colors. These donuts really reminded me of eating vanilla birthday cake when I was younger.
Another great part about these donuts is that they each have 9 grams of muscle building protein. I used my MusclePharm vanilla combat powder and Greek yogurt to give them the big protein boost. My brother certainly liked them. He asked how much protein each had in it. I told him each had almost 10 grams, so he decided to eat 4 of them!

Ingredients
Donuts
- 1/2 cup (60g) whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop (34g) MusclePharm
- 1/2 cup granulated stevia or erythritol
- 3/4 tsp. baking powder
- 2/3 cup (150g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp. milk (any milk is fine)
- 1 whole egg
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 tsp. rainbow cake sprinkles
Glaze
- 2 tbsp. (28g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp. (32g) Sweet Spreads vanilla cupcake coconut butter
- 2 tbsp. milk (I used unsweetened almond)
- 3 tbsp. granulated stevia or erythritol
- sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Mix flour, protein powder, stevia, and baking powder. In a separate bowl mix Greek yogurt, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gently mix together until combined. Add sprinkles and mix again until incorporated evenly.
- Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray. Spoon batter evenly into 6 spots in the donut pan. Bake at 350F for 7-8 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.
- Let donuts completely cool while you make the glaze. Add Greek yogurt, coconut butter, milk, and stevia to a small bowl. Mix until smooth. You may need to microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it thinner and easier to mix.
- Dip cooled donuts in glaze. Put in fridge for a few minutes to let glaze cool and dip donuts in glaze again. Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy!
