Recipe Tips & Notes
★ If you’re anything like me, you don’t mind making ingredient substitutions on the fly. And most of the time, that’s probably ok. But not in this recipe! Be sure to use the exact ingredients called for in the recipe– it makes a big difference, I promise.
For instance, you might be tempted to use all purpose flour in place of the whole wheat (I was!). But you won’t believe the difference it makes in the texture of the muffin to switch up the flour. It’s SO much better with the whole wheat flour!
★ The macros for these protein donuts are: 28g carbs, 6g fat, and 8g protein.
★ Can you freeze these homemade donuts? Yes! Allow the donuts to cool completely to room temperature, and do not glaze or fill them. Layer them in a freezer bag with pieces of wax paper or parchment in between each one. When you’re ready to eat one, let it thaw at room temperature and reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven for best results.
