Notes
We don't recommend substituting ingredients in this recipe beyond what we have listed in the substitutions section. Making donuts with protein powder can be challenging because it requires the perfect combination of liquid and fat in order for them to turn out moist.
The batter should be somewhat thick, but if it is clumpy or difficult to stir, add a little more milk or water.
To quickly fill the wells of the donut pan, spoon the batter into a Ziploc bag, cut the corner off, and 'pipe' the batter in.
Leave some room for the donuts to rise. Only fill each well of the pan 3/4 full with batter.
