These Protein Chocolate Brownie Donuts are the perfect snack to prep for the week to satisfy those 3pm munchies, or any sugar cravings. They’re packed full of protein to keep you fuller for longer!
The soft fluffy texture of cake and the chocolate fudginess of a brownie combine forces in these delicious, healthy, vegan and grain-free donuts.
I use WelleCo Nourishing Protein in chocolate which also has the added bonus of probiotics.
