It’s Girl Scout season! I haven’t made protein donuts in awhile so I decided to recreate the beloved Samoa in protein donut form! Needless to say they turned out incredible! The base recipe is from my protein donut hole recipe which can be made using a muffin pan, so if you don’t have a donut pan fear not! Indulge in a treat with my Samoa Protein Donut recipe, combining the rich flavors of coconut and chocolate for a decadent breakfast or dessert. These donuts are packed with protein, making them a satisfying and nutritious option to start your day or satisfy your sweet tooth. Perfect for those who love the classic Samoa cookie, these donuts offer a healthier twist without compromising on taste. Easy to make and irresistibly delicious, they’re sure to become a favorite in your household!

Ingredients

  • 2 scoops of protein powder (I used PEScience chocolate)
  • 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour (whole wheat will change the taste a bit)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar (you can sub with applesauce or banana)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Smucker’s sugar free caramel sauce
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Lite chocolate sauce to drizzle (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix dry ingredients together. In another bowl, mix together wet. Add wet ingredients to the bowl with dry. Grease muffin tin and fill each about 3/4 the way. Bake for 10 to 12 mins (check with toothpick). Take them out and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

To make these Samoa donuts I simply mixed together 1/2 cup of Smucker’s sugar free caramel sauce and 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes then topped each donut with the mixture. I drizzled a little lite chocolate sauce over the top to make it look like a Samoa (didn’tt count macros on this!). They are insanely good, especially for the macros!
