Apple Cider Protein Donuts

A taste of autumn, these apple cider protein donuts are a delicious and healthy treat with 17g of protein per serving, making them perfect for fueling your day or post-workout recovery. Packed with high-quality whey protein, they support muscle repair and help you stay full longer, all while satisfying your sweet tooth. The tender, moist texture combines the natural sweetness of apple and cider with a light, airy crumb that melts in your mouth, complemented by a subtle hint of cinnamon and fall spices. These donuts are a versatile snack or breakfast option—great for meal prep, as they store well in the fridge and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. For those with dietary preferences, they can easily be made gluten-free by using almond or oat flour, and vegan alternatives such as plant-based protein powders and flax eggs work seamlessly. To get the best rise and fluffiness, be sure not to overmix the batter, and for a touch of extra flavor, sprinkle with a dusting of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey before serving. Whether you're looking for a nutritious snack after hitting the gym or a seasonal treat to enjoy with coffee, these donuts deliver wholesome goodness with a delightful fall-inspired twist.
