Yes, another coffee and chocolate recipe! How could I not make another when coffee and chocolate are pretty much two of my favorite things ever (and peanut butter of course)! These are some Java Chip Protein Donuts aka some of the best donuts I have ever made!

 

 

 

I made these babies in a donut pan. I really like it because it allows you to bake the donuts which is way easier, and healthier than a fried donut. To be honest, I don’t own a fryer and have never actually even fried a donut. And, I really like cake, so you can’t go wrong with cake donuts can you?

 

 

 

To give them the tasty java (coffee) flavor I  add a couple of ounces of strong coffee (chilled) to the batter. A cooled shot or two of espresso would be great, or a little bit of cold brew concentrate. 

 

Anyway, once the donuts were cooked, I made a delicious coffee glaze. It consisted of a scoop Macro1 ONE Protein, a bit of strong brewed coffee (chilled), sweetener, and coconut oil. For the sweetener in this recipe, I used Truvia which is a blend of stevia and sugar. It bakes really well, but also has less calories/sugar than standard white granulated sugar.

 

After I dipped the donuts in the glaze, you know I had to add all kinds of chocolate chip gains. I actually dipped the donuts in a bowl with some chocolate chips while the glaze was still wet so that the chocolate chips would stick to the donuts. So good! Seriously, these may be some of my favorite donuts in a long time.
