Copycat Original Glazed Donut (Krispy Kreme’s style)

Weeknight-friendly American cooking: Copycat Original Glazed Donut (Krispy Kreme’s style) comes together in 35 minutes with all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, and not much else. The macros do the talking: 7g protein, 24g carbs, and 3g fat in every 150-calorie serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 2 1/4 tsp Instant yeast
• 1/2 cup Warm water
• 2 tbsp Monk fruit sweetener
• 1 Egg
• 1/3 cup Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp Light butter, melted
• 3/4 cup Powdered monk fruit
• 3 tbsp Skim milk
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Steps

1. Stir the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sweetener into the warm water and wait 5 to 10 minutes until it foams — no foam means the yeast is dead, start over.
2. Mix the flour, protein powder, and remaining sweetener, then add the yeast mixture, egg, yogurt, and melted butter and knead 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Cover and let rise in a warm spot 45 minutes, or until doubled; rushing this step costs you the airy crumb.
4. Roll to 1/2-inch thick, cut 6 rings with a donut cutter (a wide glass and a bottle cap work fine), and let them rest 10 minutes.
5. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes until just golden — they should look pale, not browned.
6. Whisk the powdered monk fruit, milk, and vanilla into a thin glaze.
7. Dip each warm donut twice, letting the glaze melt into every crevice, and set on a rack until the shine sets, about 5 minutes.
