What gives these donuts their vibrant unicorn colors?

The frosting is colored naturally using pink berry superfood powder and blue superfood powder mixed with powdered sugar and almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.

What kind of protein powder should I use for these donuts?

The recipe specifies protein powder, so a plant-based vanilla or unflavored protein powder would work best to complement the donut's flavors without overpowering them.

How are these Unicorn Protein Donuts made gluten-free?

These donuts are made gluten-free by using gluten-free white flour and gluten-free wholemeal flour in the batter, as indicated by the recipe title.

Can I fry these protein donuts instead of baking them?

This recipe is specifically designed for baking in a doughnut pan at 360 degreesF for approximately 14 minutes, which helps keep them lighter. Frying would require different adjustments to the method and ingredients.

How should I store leftover Unicorn Protein Donuts?

Once cooled and frosted, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or in the refrigerator for a few days to keep the frosting fresh and the donuts moist.
