Banana Protein Donuts
We really love donuts around here and honestly our favorite place to get donuts from is from Krispy Kreme. I do cave and get my kids some from there once in a while but most times we bake! We have so much fun baking these Banana Protein Donuts! My kids love the fact that protein is healthy and that they will be growing muscles from it. lol. Not kidding
We didn’t use any flour in this Banana Protein Donuts and I have to say I was impressed with the outcome. Trying to make super healthy desserts can be tricky. It takes a few tries and a few fail to get it to be just the way you want them to be.
I remember craving donuts when I was pregnant with the twins. You are probably thinking oh not a big deal but it was a big deal! I was eating 4 donuts a day and I assure you they weren’t the healthy kinds. Wish I was making these Banana Protein Donuts back then!
