What could be more delicious than donuts? Well, if you ask us, Glazed Sprinkle Protein Donuts! These donuts are soft, sweet, and have the most irresistible vanilla glaze. You would never guess they're protein-packed, low in sugar, and gluten-free.
NOTES: You can use all-purpose flour or cake flour if you don't need gluten-free! We used a powdered erythritol sweetener (like Swerve) for the glaze, but you can use any powdered sweetener you like.
