Notes
- It's really important to make sure your donut tray is really really well greased or use a silicone donut mold.
- When you portion the batter into the donut tray it is really thick and kind of sticky. So you're going to have to form the chocolate protein donuts yourself with the silicone spatula.
- Know that the sprinkles are not included in the nutritional breakdown
- The recipe makes 6-7 donuts depending on your molds.
