Double Fudge Protein Donuts

If this is your first visit to my recipes, welcome! If you are a returner, thank you!

I am a true believer that the world of food should be open to a person and moderation in all things is a great way to live life, that’s why I specialize in creating macro-friendly recipes that are much easier to “fit” in moderation.

As you get to know me, you will find that all my recipes use a moderate to few amount of ingredients because I also believe that cooking should be stress free and not break the budget. I encourage that for all of my recipes you look into buying frozen rather than fresh to promote longevity of each food item if you do not use it again right away.

I would also love to hear your personal spin on any of my recipes! Have fun and please enjoy!

I love donuts, specifically the cream filled ones, I’m still working on that recipe...But, here’s my overly chocolatey, perfectly puffy chocolate donuts instead! Seriously you won’t regret trying this one! Now where else can you find a chocolate doughnut less than 100 calories? (That isn't dry and flat!)

Quick tip on all my sweets: you can use Swerve no calorie sweetener for baking and it holds it’s sweetness well but with my IBS I have to stay very far away from Swerve, so I use Monk’s Fruit. I find Monk’s Fruit bakes better than Stevia without the IBS reaction of Swerve. The Swerve confectioners sugar also does a great job for making frosting!

This recipe is suitable for bariatric patients, vegetarians, body builders, anyone who is practicing moderation or just someone looking for a delicious macro friendly dessert recipe for the next get together! With macros like that and no added sugar feel free to make these chocolaty delights more than once!

* (~4g per doughnut, if on strict macros can make small batches)

-Powdered Monks Fruit or powdered Stevia (such as Sweet Leaf) to taste (I use 1 1/2 Tbs)

(Because it’s not baked stevia gives it a good sweetness but I do powdered for the frosting so there’s no grainy texture)

Frosting alternative for IBS sensitive people and those who don't eat gelatin

-1/2C (40g) Unsweetened Coco powder

* (can divide ~4g per doughnut, if on strict macros)

-Powdered Stevia (such as Sweet Leaf, no sugar alcohols so its much easier on my GI ) to taste (I use 1 1/2 Tbs still)

-1/2-1C water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
