Notes

You can store your Baked Apple Cider Pronuts Protein Donuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
If you prefer a crunchier topping, consider adding some crushed nuts or seeds after glazing.
For an extra protein boost, blend in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseed to the batter.
If you don’t have apple cider, you can use apple juice, but the flavor might be a bit milder.
