For a double batch

1 stick of butter

4 packets of splenda
2 scoops of Body Fortress 100% Premium Whey Protein (vanilla) powder

When little puffs are cool enough to touch I shake them in a little bowl with granulated splenda and cinnamon.

Heat oil. Dip soup spoon (little round ones) in hot oil then scoop up one spoon full. Drop it gently in oil. Batter slides off really easy this way. I put about 5 in my sauce pan. Turn them as they brown. Easy peasy! And so very good. The whole batch is only 2 carbs. I divide all the little puff balls up and usually we have between 10 and 12 each.

I completely deleted the butter from my version:

1 scoop (30g) Body Fortress Vanilla Protein Powder
1 whole egg, large
1 T Davinci SF syrup, vanilla (or any other flavour)

They don't 'puff and fluff' as they do when using butter, but they sure save a LOT on calories and fat.

****** says:

cals: 185
fat: 7g
carbs: 2g (1 from protein powder, 1 from egg)
fibre: 0
protein: 29g (23 from powder, 6 from egg. Can be more or less if you have a different protein powder)

How did you come to 202 cals and 2g carbs per 1/2 batch (1 serving)? I got more like 592 cals (with the 1/2 stick of butter per serving) and 4g crbs (for the powder, egg and splenda).

Am I putting this into ****** wrong?

Mastercook gives me similar numbers...unless the protein powder used is flat out zero carb AND zero calories and if the Splenda is not counted, one definitely gets more than 2 carbs and ~200 cals:

Darn thing rounds numbers, but this is pretty close for the double recipe or "two" servings.

Re-looked I had the original amount of the first post. I had it down as 3 servings. First off I never count calories or worry about fat. In 3 1/2 years I am still doing fine. I do however look at carbs and it came to 3 carbs per serving not 1. But still 3 carbs is fine for me. It was 600 calories though. sorry. I also have never counted the carbs in splenda either.

Fat is not my enemy combined with low carb.

[theislandgirl]

SkeeterN, no-one is saying fat or calories are your enemy. Some of us, though, have to track that stuff, and just for the record, we like to get our numbers in the ballpark. We ALL like this recipe and have variations that suit us.

Knowing the right numbers just lets us all do our thing as needed. Enjoy!

[SkeeterN]

Sorry I just didn't realize I hadn't changed the figures when I put the recipe originally in my mastercook. We ended up eating a serving each. That is the break down I used.

[ltip]

I made these yesterday and OMG
They were so darn good. I could overeat on these real easy.
Thank you Skeeter for this recipie though. It will be something i make often I am sure.

I am making up the batter tonight and going to try as is in my waffle iron. do you all think it will work?

Yes it will. Tastes amazing. Top the waffles with strawberries and s/f whipped cream. YUM

[ltip]

Yummy!! We had waffles with this batter, my DH came home as i was mixing it up and decided he would put some whipped egg whites in the batter. They were good but i don't think it needed the egg whites.

[Boudica]

Yeah Skeet, I want to thank you again. Actually, if you hadn't posted that original recipe, I would have had a breakdown and driven my car THROUGH the nearest Dunkin' Donuts!

I really DO appreciate it and am one of those people who, right at this point in time, have to watch calories as well as carb, fat and protein intake. I can't wait until I can spend a single day without checking everything into ****** to make sure I didn't overeat!

[carbnut74]

That sounds really good i might just make them later..

[newme2007]

I'm saving this recipe for OWL!!! Thank you for posting this.

[COLOR="Magenta"]It can also be found at Netrition.com or GNC. It is the EASIEST to find at Wal-Mart. And cheaper as well.[/COLOR]

I forgot Netrition. I buy from them all the time. But mainly things I can't get locally. I love Netrition!

[COLOR="Magenta"]Actually, I believe the Body Fortress Whey Protein from Wal-Mart is the one with the least amount of carbs as well, at 1g per scoop (30 grams). I haven't seen any others with that small amount of carbs for less than $30 a cannister.[/COLOR]

Really? I love Body Fortress Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. It tastes great and it does only have 1 carb per scoop.

I've been in the midst of being a 'Tweaker Geek' with all sorts of recipes.... and, I found another alternative for a dougnut recipe:

30 grams Wheat Protein Isolate 8000
1 tsp. baking powder
dash of salt
2-4 Tbs. SF davinci syrup, any flavour

Mix together the 8000, baking powder and salt. Add in the davincis, 1 T at a time, until you get a workable dough. Roll into balls (I got 6) and either fry on the stove or in a deep fryer until brown.

****** Says:
[COLOR="Red"](NOT INCLUDING THE FRYING OIL) [/COLOR]

122 calories; 0 g fat; 2 g carbs; 0 fiber; 27 g protein.


These come out VERY lightly sweet. If you wish, you could add a T of Splenda to the mix OR dust them with Splenda after they fry. You can also add cinnamon to the mix for a different flavour.

I've used all sorts of different SF davincis (vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, B-52 and Chai Tea) and none of them actually give any FLAVOUR to the doughnuts... only a mild sweetness.

I made these today..So good..I couldn't get mine to stay round,they were flat(Puffed a little when cooked)..But still so good...My batter was thin,i followed the direction on page 1..Any suggestions for a thicker batter?TIA

Also thanks for this recipe!!

[pepperette]

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]They sound really delish! I have chocolate truffle whey protein isolate- should work ok- right? I have a deep fryer and thought I might do it that way. I wonder if you can sub CO for the butter, and if so, in the same amount?
For evenness, you could use a small ice cream scoop- count total made and divide into total carb count for per-piece carb count.[/COLOR]

Either cut the butter in half (use only 2 T) or add a scoop of powder. That;s about the only answer I can give you.

I tried it with basic Chocolate Protein Powder and didn't like the taste of it AT ALL YMMV. Let us know if the chocolate truffle tasted good.

And about the coconut sub
