Healthy Donuts?!

Everyone loves a donut, even if they do not go out of their way for one everyday, but when presented with a box of fresh donuts anyone would oblige. I personally love donuts but I cannot tell you the last time I had one. I cut donuts out of my everyday diet way before I began trying to loose weight, I knew donuts were one of the worst things to put into our body's so it was best to cut them out completely. The other day I was at Target and I stumbled across a donut-baking tray, almost like a cupcake tray but for donuts. I did not even hesitate, once I saw it I knew I had to have it. Of course I had to make donuts as soon as I got the chance because I was curious to see if this tray would even work.

Recipe:
1 tbp of coconut oil
1 tbs of cinnamon
3 tbs of truvia
3/4 tsp of baking powder
3/4 tsp of baking soda
1/4 tsp of salt
1 tub of Greek yogurt
1 egg
1 cup of perfect fit (any protein powder will work)

You should get a fluffy constancy once you mixed all ingredients together.


Glaze:
1 tbs of honey
1/2 tbs of truvia
1/2 tbs of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract


These donuts are great for breakfast or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up. They have a bonus healthy factor by not being fried, so you do not have to feel guilty when reaching for seconds!

  1. Im definitly giving this a try, I just bought my sister a mini donut maker for 8 bucks at jcp and they bake the donuts instead of frying them, and since my grandfather is diabetic this recipe will be perfect. Thanks

    1. Thank you so much! They had a cake like texture since they are baked but they were still delicious and I've been having them for breakfast all week.

  4. I will definitely have to borrow this recipe from you. I will not only save money and stop spending extra cash (that isn't so extra) on donuts from dunkin, but it will be way healthier. Then I will make some amazing java with these wonderful looking donuts, Thx!
