Decadent Thin Mint Protein Donuts

SERVING SIZE: 1 donut

YIELDS: 5 servings

– 45g light butter
– 120g chocolate whey
– 25g Hershey’s dark chocolate cocoa powder
– ½ tsp baking powder
– Stevia/Splenda to taste
– ½ tsp peppermint extract
– 70g egg whites
– water to consistency

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder because it can create a cardboard texture. Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is the Devotion Nutrition brand. If you are interested in trying Devotion Nutrition, use “AVATAR” at checkout and save 10%.

Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros. Click here to get expert tips on baking with other types of protein powder in our free online guide.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, melt butter, then add all other ingredients (egg whites last).
3. Add water until cake batter consistency is reached.
4. Spray a doughnut pan with 0 calorie non-stick spray, then pour batter to form 5 doughnuts.
5. Bake for 10 minutes and enjoy! Feel free to add “protein icing” (nonfat greek yogurt + stevia) and real thin mint crumbles on top if your macros allow.
