Lemon Blueberry Protein Doughnuts

Doughnuts make it better….especially protein doughnuts that won’t cause diet doom!  You can enjoy these light, sweet and refreshing doughnuts everyday if you like!!

Fresh blueberries, lemon zest & vanilla protein make these babies pop!!  I have made these several times in the last month and they have always been a hit!  A bonus is you can make the batter into mini muffins or even cupcakes if you like to make it for a brunch treat or serve as a desert!

If you make them as mini muffins just decrease the baking time to 6-8mins.  As cupcakes, bake 19-22 mins or until a toothpick comes out clean.
