Ingredients

For the Donuts

⅔ cup chocolate protein pancake mix (check out my recommendations and discount codes above on protein pancake mixes)
1 large egg
3 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

For the Frosting

2 tbsp low fat cream cheese (softened)
30 g chocolate protein powder (I used the Prozis Zero Chocolate Whey Protein Powder.)
1 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk (more or less, depending on the consistency you want of your frosting.)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a donut pan for 6 donuts with non-stick spray.
2
Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and then whisk in the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth. Divide into 6 donuts in a donut pan.
3
Bake for 15-20 minutes. In the meantime, make your frosting by blending all of the ingredients with a hand mixer. Set aside until you are ready to frost.
4
Once the donuts are cooled down, top them with your chocolate protein frosting and sprinkles if you want to be fancy!
