Chocolate Peanut Butter Pronuts (GF)

At Inspired, our obsession with donuts is unparalleled. See here, here, here, and here.

While we do love the taste of a good ol' deep fried donut as much as anyone, it's not exactly the healthiest thing to eat on a regular basis.

Enter: baked pronuts. These donuts as packed with protein (hence the name pronuts), so you can enjoy them post-workout or satisfy your late-night sweet tooth without ruining your diet.

We made them in our favorite flavor combination - chocolate peanut butter - which may sound like a major indulgent treat, but it's actually a minor one :)

Well, what are you waiting for? It's time to whip out your donut pan and make these bad boys in under 30 minutes!
