Peanut Butter Banoffee Doughnuts!
We love to keep things simple here at Wheyhey!. But, every once a while, we feel the need don our apron and hit the kitchen. This recipe will require a mixing bowl, a doughnut pan, a pretty apron, an application form for the ‘Great British Bake Off’ and a camera. The camera is for obligatory photos of your culinary masterpieces, to be sent to us via Instagram.
“How Do I stay on trend while boosting my protein intake?”
Doughnuts have made an unlikely comeback to the mainstream. A long time favourite of police officers and cartoon characters, now doughnut shops are popping up at every corner. Instead of watching from the sidelines, we decided to join in the fun with our healthy doughnut recipe. These protein snacks are perfect when having coffee at home with friends. Our doughnut recipe allows you to maintain a healthy lifestyle while joining in on the doughnut hype. These healthy desserts needed a protein hit so we topped them off with a few scoops of Wheyhey! sugar free ice cream. The results are incredible, we hope you enjoy it.
