Looking for a tasty breakfast that the whole family will enjoy? Try these Easy Baked Protein Chocolate Donuts. They’re gluten-free, vegan, and simple to make.
My boys looove donuts and since it’s summer and they’re home, I’m bringing them into the kitchen with me. They love to help me cook and they were so excited to make these donuts for you all to enjoy.
Please note, that this batter will be somewhat thick which is normal so I recommend adding it to a ziplock bag and cutting a corner to help pipe them into the donut hole. Mess-free and easy to do.
Here’s what you need
- Gluten-free all-purpose flour, I like King Arthur’s all-purpose flour
- Cacao powder
- Chocolate protein powder
