Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Sugar-free caramel syrup
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or olive oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.

Step 7

While the donuts are baking, prepare the caramel glaze by mixing the sugar-free caramel syrup and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.

Step 8

Once the donuts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 9

Dip each slightly cooled donut into the caramel glaze or spread it on top using a spatula. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your high protein caramel donuts as a dessert or a high-energy snack!
