Maple Vanilla Protein Donuts Recipe

Good news if you love sweets! Donuts and ‘healthy’ actually can belong in the same sentence… and in your diet. That’s right, these nutrient-packed maple vanilla protein donuts are proof.

Calling only for simple, real ingredients… this recipe swaps the “no-no’s” of traditional donuts, like highly inflammatory oils and gluten-packed wheat, for virgin coconut oil and paleo-friendly, gluten-free flour.

And it doesn’t stop there. We’ve also loaded them with health-promoting nutrients and immune-boosting properties by adding Paleovalley’s Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder. Resulting in a flavorful, nutrient-dense treat that beckons the rich, familiar indulgence of maple donuts from the past.
