There is just something about banana bread that always gets me. When I make it, it certainly takes some self control not to eat the whole loaf at once. I mean, if you don’t cut the loaf into slices, then the whole thing is technically just one slice right? Well, this time I made these Blueberry Banana Bread Protein Donuts so I didn’t exactly have the choice to eat the whole loaf. And, let’s be honest, it is a lot more fun to eat donuts than bread!
I was initially just going to make these regular banana bread protein donuts, but then I saw the blueberries in the fridge and figured why not make it a blueberry banana bread protein donut recipe? I was thinking back to my Blueberry Banana Bread recipe I made a while ago and remembered how delicious it was. Blueberries and banana are such an amazing combo.
For the donuts, I used BSN Syntha-6 vanilla protein powder. It is a protein powder blend, so it works really well when baking. Sometimes just straight up whey protein can try out easily. Once the donuts were baked, I figured that I would add a little bit of a vanilla glaze/icing. It can’t be a donut without some sort of icing!
For that icing, I used some more protein powder and mixed it with a little bit of Greek yogurt, almond milk, and sweetener to taste. Once the donuts cooled, I dipped each of them in the glaze and tried not to eat them all at once!
Question…which protein powder do you like the most for baking? Mine dries out the baked good! Thanks for you help!
Hi Anna! Thanks for the comment. It depends on the recipe. When you bake with whey protein, it can certainly dry out easily. Casein doesn’t dry out near as much, but it also absorbs liquid different and you will need to add different amounts of milk/water compared to a recipe that uses whey. I hope that helps!
