Apple Samoa Protein Donuts

A guilt free "donut" snack packed with protein to get you to your next meal. Topped with chocolate, dulce de leche and toasted coconut.

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut shredded
  • 2 large seasonal apples preferably rome or honeycrisp
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder vegan if desired
  • 4 tbsp PBfit
  • 7-8 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp enjoy life chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp dulce de leche sauce or vegan caramel sauce - see link above in article

Instructions

  1. Toast coconut in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until it starts to brown. Remove from heat and place in a bowl. Set aside. 

  2. Slice Apple into 4 rings per apple. Cut middle out into a "donut hole" or use a small round cookie cutter to punch out the centers. 

  3. Mix PBfit and protein powder. I used 7 tbsp water and halfway through added the last tbsp to thin out the mixture. Spread mixture on top of apples

  4. Drizzle donuts with chocolate sauce, dulce de leche and top with toasted coconut. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator. 

  5. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir until melted and creamy. 

Recipe Notes

I make these in bulk and take them to go. Chill in the fridge until caramel and chocolate harden. When ready, place 2 donuts with the toppings facing each other (like you are making an apple sandwich) and slide them into a ziplock bag. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
