How to Make Healthy Protein Donut Holes
If you don’t have a donut hole pan, you can use a mini muffin pan instead. The shape of the donut holes might get a little distorted, but they will still taste good.
How to Make Low Calorie Donut Holes:
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees and spray a donut hole 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 1 tablespoons of batter.
- Bake in the center rack for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool in the donut pan for 5 minutes, then move the donut holes to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- While the donuts cool completely, make the glaze: Add the powdered sugar and water to a medium bowl and mix together. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it’s runny.
- Once the donut holes are completely cooled (very important) dip the donut holes into the glaze. Then move back to the cooling rack and allow it to harden completely.
