Protein Sprinkle Donuts + Vanilla Glaze

Ever have FOMO when someone is eating something you really want to indulge in but your trying to be good? It can happen at family gatherings, office parties or when you walk outside of your gym after a great workout and smell bagels from the bagel shop next door. Le sigh, we are guilty of it. But why not be able to enjoy without all of the self loathing? I'll be honest, I saw about five delicious donut posts this morning on Instagram and I instantly was craving a sugary treat. We recently bought a donut pan and I've been wanting to try it out and see what we could create. So, we made some protein donuts! Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients (yields 6 donuts)

2 c of Kodiak Cakes mix

1/2 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1/3 cup water

1 egg

3 tbsp of sweetener of choice (we used Stevia)

1 tsp vanilla extract

The Glaze

1/2 c of confectioner sugar

1 tsp of vanilla

1/3 c of unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Sprinkles for topping

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Mix all donut ingredients together in a bowl. The consistency will be a bit light and airy. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag to pipe batter into the sprayed donut tin. If you do not have a pastry bag go ahead and use a ziplock bag and cut the tip. Cut one corner of the bag so you can easily squeeze it into a donut pan. Shake your tin to even out the batter. Bake for 7 minutes. Next, mix together glaze ingredients. The consistency should be right in the middle of thick and runny. After your donuts have cooled, dip the tops of your sweet streets into the glaze and then into your sprinkles (or whatever topic you prefer!) Enjoy for breakfast, dessert or whenever you'd like :)

Almond Poppy Seed + Lemon Loaf

Happy Spring? Yes, the question mark is needed since we had snow on Long Island today and its April second! I'd say about six inches total, but we were happy to see the sun appear and melt some of it away.
