These Low Calorie High Protein Donuts are just 86 calories each, and have 7.7g of protein! They are also low sugar and low carb. I basically grew up in a donut shop, my grandparents owned and operated the “Foster’s Donuts” shop in Simi Valley CA and I spent the first few years of my life in the shop. So you can say I’m almost donut royalty (I’m joking, but I really do love donuts!)

Ingredients
Low Calorie High Protein Donuts:
- Olive Oil Spray
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats (or gluten-free oats)
- 36 g (1.3oz) Vanilla Protein Powder
- 3 tablespoons Zero Calorie All-Natural Sweetener (or sugar)
- ¼ cup 0% greek yogurt
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Low Calorie Strawberry Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons 0% greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Low Calorie Strawberry Jam
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 tablespoon all-natural sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees and spray a 6-hole donut pan with olive oil.
- In a food processor or high speed blender, combine the oats, protein powder, and sweetener. Pulse until you have a flour like consistency.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and add in the greek yogurt, milk, and baking powder. Mix together until combined.
- Fill each donut hole with 4 tablespoons of batter, smoothing out in an even layer.
- Bake in the center rack for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the donut pan for 5 minutes, then move the donuts to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts cool completely, make the glaze: Add the yogurt and the homemade jam to a medium bowl and mix together. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it's runny (you might not need both teaspoons- that's ok)
- Once the donuts are completely cooled (very important) dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and add the sprinkles (if using).
