No-Bake Sugar Cookie Protein Donuts

Jump to Recipe

if you love sugar cookies, frosted donuts, and easy high-protein desserts that live in your freezer, these no-bake sugar cookie protein donuts are about to be your new favorite thing.

they’re soft, chewy and dipped in a dairy-free cream cheese glaze that sets just like a real frosted donut!

the best part? no oven, no complicated steps, and they’re made with real, nourishing ingredients you probably already have on hand.

taste + texture

these donuts taste like classic sugar cookie dough with a hint of cinnamon warmth. they’re rich, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying.

the inside is soft and fudgy thanks to medjool dates, almond flour, and coconut cream, while the glaze adds that smooth, creamy finish you expect from a bakery-style donut.

once chilled, the glaze firms up just enough to feel legit, but once you let them thaw for a few minutes, everything becomes perfectly creamy and melt-in-your-mouth again.

why these are perfect for the holidays

these are the kind of dessert you make once and keep stocked all season long. they’re:

• festive thanks to sprinkles
• freezer-friendly for holiday prep
• indulgent enough to feel like a treat
• but balanced with protein and fiber

they’re perfect for cookie trays, holiday gatherings, or those nights when you want something sweet after dinner but don’t want to bake or overdo it.

they also make a great option for guests with dietary restrictions since they’re gluten free and dairy free.

how easy they are to make

these donuts are completely no bake and come together in minutes:

• everything blends together in a food processor
• the dough gets pressed into silicone donut molds
• the freezer does all the work

no rolling, no shaping by hand, no oven, and no stress. if you can press dough into a mold, you can make these.

why i love using Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream 

one of the key ingredients that makes these donuts so rich and satisfying is Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream.

it’s thick, creamy, and made with simple, high-quality ingredients- no fillers or gums, which is exactly what you want in a no-bake dessert.

it gives these donuts their soft, fudgy texture and helps the glaze set beautifully once chilled, without becoming icy or hard.

i love using it as a dairy-free alternative because it adds richness and structure while keeping everything plant-based, gluten free, and incredibly indulgent.

substitution options

• protein powder: use plain or vanilla; plant-based or whey both work
• nut butter: almond butter or cashew butter both give great texture
• sprinkles: optional, but fun. you can also skip or use mini chocolate chips
• cinnamon: optional, but adds a cozy holiday vibe
• sweetness: adjust maple syrup in the glaze to taste

if the dough feels too soft, add a tablespoon or two of almond flour. if it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut cream and re-blend.

storage tips

• store donuts in the fridge for a softer, fudgier texture
• store in the freezer for a firmer, frosted-donut feel
• let thaw 5–10 minutes before eating for best texture

these keep beautifully for at least a week in the fridge or a few weeks in the freezer, making them ideal for holiday prep or make-ahead desserts.
