Donuts
-
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs

- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

-
In a large bowl, whisk together the the yogurt, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the almond flour, whey protein, sweetener, baking powder, and salt and whisk until smooth. Add just enough water until you have a thick but pourable consistency.

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until very smooth. Beat in the powdered sweetener.
