Thanks JB!!

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

Great recipe. Also I have a suggestion for improvement, I make a protein glaze I use on muffins I make. It's basically almost milk and vanilla bean protein powder. 2-4 oz of almond milk per 2 scoops protein, I usually add the almond milk little by little to keep the glaze sticky. Try it out, it'll reduce the sugar content and make for an even higher protein amount.

Same here even when i added Flour, so i just took some cannelé mussel to make cannelé instead of donuts and it was delicious as well.

[@LiftingDad]

@@EljyJT I think I am going to try less greek yogurt. My other issue is I'm using more whey and no casein blend or the cookie butter powder (which looks like a mix of plant based protein plus some powdered peanut butter and that type of protein tends to be less sticky).

Honest Review: these are really quick and simple and they came out pretty good and seem to be pretty easily customizable **BUT** they don’t have the airy light bite of a donut hole because they’re just a little too dense but they are delicious

[@ShotgunLlama]

I see no reason you couldn't use AP flour instead of self rising, add bakers yeast, and let it proof for a while to aerate more

[@Redspinna55]

@@ShotgunLlama great advice, at what step would you add yeast? And how much would you add?

[@ShotgunLlama]

@@Redspinna55 I would think to just add it in as you first mix up the dough. In other words, just add the yeast as another dry ingredient to mix in, if you're using dry yeast. As for how much, your jar/packet would probably say how much to use for a given amount of bread dough or flour, so I'd follow that

[@stepbystepfitness3301]

I just tried making this (followed the exact steps), I used 12G baking powder instead of self rising and 60g whey protein instead of 30/30 whey/cookie butter powder. The mixture almost broke my mixer, and the dough was so sticky I couldn't really roll it (it got stuck to my floured surface). Is this just a hard recipe to make? Usually dough from scratch is difficult, does it just take more practice or tweaking the recipe? Just wondering if you should tweak the recipe/give more advice b/c these were rough for me nog gonna lie.

[@benjamintrnt7329]

Hi, what I like to do is add the yoghurt in increments. It happened to me on a few recipes involving mixing with yoghurt, I can't recall exactly how much I used but add half of what it suggests on the recipe, mix it, then just add more in say 50g increments or something and when the mix starts to form a dough, test the dough and go from there, if it's too ''dry'' or you aren't able to form it, just add a little more yoghurt. It's a pain but once you do it once you can take note of the exact measurements you used. A lot of recipes take a little bit of practice, especially when it involves dough, I hate the stuff but it tastes good at the end so the stress is worth it haha, best of luck!

[@benjamintrnt7329]

@@stepbystepfitness3301 you’re welcome! I think it’s something to do with how every protein blend absorbs differently, I’ve found mine is quite well at absorbing moisture whereas others not so much, it’s all about trying and failing but If you just half the liquid and mix it’s a lot more controllable, I’d rather have too little and be able to add more than too much and have to start over again

How long do i cook it for and temperature in the oven? I don't have an air fryer yet

[@circuitprogaming3652]

The oven likely wouldn't make them as "donuty" because of the way air fryers work but I would set for around the same temperature maybe a tad hotter and cook for a bit longer. Some things take longer, some are shorter in the air fryer so it's difficult to make an exact time or temp but I would estimate maybe 350 for around 7 minutes. I'm not a chef so I'm not positive but that's my estimate.
