Magic Doughnuts - my go-to healthy snack (and sometimes breakfast)

I give snack advice all day long–what’s quick, easy, can be eaten on the go, keeps you full, gives you energy, etc…the list goes on and on. People usually come to me saying that they want to avoid that afternoon crash and is there a snack that makes them not want to reach for cookies, chips, candy, or anything else that will give them that boost (and ultimately that sluggish crash). I talk about wanting to avoid foods that cause a sharp spike blood sugar (i.e. sugary foods, drinks, refined carbohydrates) because that will lead to a steep plummet so I advise pairing a protein food with a fiber food. Hummus, veggies, nuts, hard-boiled eggs, etc. But sometimes, we all need to feel like we are eating a carbohydrate. Or two.

I present to you my magic doughnut. It’s got protein. It’s got fiber. Healthy fats. It gives you energy and it’s filling! I know. I know, anytime anyone brags about something being “filling” I want to eat my brains out in the next hour. But these really are, I promise.

These things take 30 minutes to prep, bake and cool and they are delicious. My kids love them, too, which is a double bonus because I can make a big batch on Sunday and they have a good snack throughout the week. I made some of the chocolate version and some of the plain–both were enjoyed the same:)
