Old Fashioned Sour Cream Cake Protein Donuts

SERVING SIZE: 1 donut

YIELDS: 4 servings

– 35g light butter (Country Crock brand is recommended)
– 1/2 tbsp cake batter flavoring
– 1 egg
– 24g brown sugar
– 50g light sour cream
– 60g all purpose flour
– 4g fresh lemon zest
– 30g vanilla whey
– 1/4 tsp baking powder
– dash of Stevia/Splenda

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder as that does not bake well (turns recipes to a cardboard texture). Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is Devotion Nutrition brand. Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter in large bowl, then add all other ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined and cake batter consistency is reached.
3. Place batter into greased donut pan filling 4 donut molds.
4. Bake for 10 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick into a donut and it comes out clean.
5. Enjoy the Sour Cream Cake Protein Donuts! Feel free to add whipped low calorie “icing” on top (greek whipped cream + a dash of Stevia mixed together).
