    DONUT INSTRUCTIONS

    • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
    • In one bowl, mix all dry ingredients.  Protein powders can clump so be very thorough.

    • In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients.  Slowly add dry ingredients to wet until the mixture is well incorporated.  The texture should be pudding-like. 
    • Grease the donut pan. (I use avocado oil spray)

    • Spoon or pipe the batter into the pan leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top for the donuts to expand as the bake.

    • Bake at 300 F and at 10 minutes turn on the convection. Check for doneness around 14 minutes.  Donuts are done when set and a knife inserted at the thickest part comes out clean.

    • Allow to cool on a rack completely before frosting.

    FROSTING INSTRUCTIONS

    • Combine ingredients in a microwave safe bowl.
    • Microwave for 20 seconds and check; chocolate should just be starting to melt and the cream should be hot. If chocolate is still solid, microwave for 10 more seconds.
    • Stir ingredients to combine and help chocolate to melt fully.
    • Spoon or pipe chocolate ganache over the donuts.

    NUTRITION  Information from Cronometer, provided for reference, please use your specific ingredients for the most accurate nutritional information
    Note - no, I don't just eat one donut!  I usually make a half batch and let's just say we don't usually have left overs.
