Tiramisu Donuts

The Ideal Protein Cappuccino drink mix combined with the Ideal Protein Chocolate Chip Pancake mix makes a lacy crisp outside, almost like they came out of the fryer. Adding 1/2 tsp. brandy extract (sugar free) to the batter brings out the flavors of the Italian Tiramisu Dessert - definitely a favorite. The only thing missing is the Marscapone cheese; however, a drizzle of the Cream Cheese Donut Glaze should do the trick.

5. Bake 8 minutes.

Servings: 6 donuts = 2 unrestricted; 3 donuts = 1 unrestricted

TIP: You may make these donuts by omitting the brandy extract, they will be Mocha Chocolate Chip Donuts.
