8) Remove from oven and let rest 2-3 mins then turn doughnuts out onto a cooling rack allowing doughnuts to cool completely before glazing them or tossing them in cinnamon & stevia mixture.

9) Once doughnuts are cooled, in a small bowl, yet large enough to dip doughnuts into- melt the 3T of coconut oil.  Then slowly stir in the 4.5T of protein powder.
