Healthy: Each baked donut has 10 grams of protein (or more!) each and are also dairy-free and gluten-free.
Flavorful: The recipes below come in a variety of flavors to ensure that there’s something for everyone. Plus, they can be topped any which way to make them as indulgent or simplistic as you wish. Dairy-free homemade caramel sauce is always a hit.
Choosing A Protein Powder
These recipes use either a vegan protein powder or collagen powder for women to come together. Learn more about choosing a protein powder for your goals and how some protein powders absorb more liquid than others. With protein powder, the kind you choose will affect the taste and texture of the baked donuts.
Pure collagen powder is actually my personal favorite to use as it’s such a clean source of protein and much healthier for your gut. You can learn more about collagen powder versus protein powder.

These baked donuts don’t require any yeast to come together. They’re soft, delicious, and the perfect way to pick up your day. You will want a silicone donut mold for them, though as getting them out of a traditional mold (even greased) can be tricky.
