Low Carb "Donut Hole" Heaven!

Reposted from [email protected] :

Protein Donut Holes

1 large egg

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tablespoons Splenda

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder

Splenda

cinnamon -- for topping


Start heating about 1inch of oil in pan. While it's heating, beat the
egg and butter lightly. Add the splenda, vanilla and protein powder,
beat well, then let it sit for 1 min, then beat again til lumps are
gone. Using a tablespoon, drop (don't drizzle or it might burn)
batter into oil in small batches. BE CAREFUL! You need to flip them
when they start to brown, and they start to brown after about 5
seconds! Flip to other side til brown, then remove, drain, and
sprinkle with splenda and cinnamon.


I ended up with about 15 small doughnut holes - I could only eat 5, so
keep this in mind! For the whole recipe, using Optimum Nutritions'
French vanilla, which has 4g carbs per rounded scoop, my carb count
was 6.5 (.5 for the egg, .5 for the vanilla, 1 for the splenda for
dusting and .5 for the cinnamon).


Oh my peeps...I am nearly in tears this is so good. And I can't
BELIEVE how filling! Yes this is VERY high in fat and calories, so if
you are counting those, beware. But for 1/3 of a recipe, for 2
carbs...I'm in doughnut heaven!

Joyce, Sounds Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
