Happy National Donut Day! Woahooo! Today I’m celebrating with this super easy protein donut recipe! I’m not much of a donut fan to be honest because I need to eat like 5 to fill me up. I love this recipe because it’s packed with protein and coconut flour. Coconut flour is high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats so it helps to keep me full all morning long.

This recipe is SO easy to whip up! To make the peanut butter glaze, add the peanut butter and coconut oil into a small glass bowl. Heat for 20-30 seconds, or until coconut oil is completely melted then stir. If the glaze is too liquidy, add more peanut butter to thicken then carefully dip the donut into the glaze, top with more chocolate chips & a dash of sea salt. Enjoy!
