    Sometimes, what I'm thinking and what I'm texting are completely different.

    Were on the same page with this recipe! And for the record, everything that goes in the oven will probably become a donut! I've already accepted this.

    Tried this recipe this morning. Overall, it was a pretty good first attempt, I think, but here's some observations:

    1. In my excitement, I forgot to grease the silicone pan. I cannot stress the importance of this step enough, and that's all I have to say about that.

    2.
    just keep splashing almond milk (or milk of your choice) in until you get a pancake batter like consistency.
    @Geocitiesuser had it right about splashing almond milk in: I would start with 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk and add more slowly. I poured the whole 0.5 cup into the mix, and it was runny. Though, I may keep it in there, because...

    3. I personally need to add additional protein powder to the recipe, because with the Kodiak Cake mix the macros aren't as great. Behold:

    I'm looking forward to trying again with a different pancake mix and/or extra protein. I'll post an update. :)

    Here's mine:

    o6b18wd6i6ym.jpg

    I used Hungry Man Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Pancake Mix - I only got 5 donuts : (
    To increase the protein content I added 23g of VPX SRO Zero-Carb (Graham Cracker Flavored)
    And I didn't have Greek Yogurt so I used Cottage Cheese.

    Icings are (from bottom going clockwise): Plain, Hershey's Chocolate Spread, Pillsbury Cream Cheese Cake Icing, Philadelphia Blueberry Cream Cheese, and Nuccina Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter. I'm going to ice the plain one with Jell-o Butterscotch Pudding once it sets :wink:

    Here's mine!

    1 cup Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk flapjack mix
    1/3 cup 1% milk
    1.5 Tbsp Truvia brown sugar blend
    4g Truvia honey
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 large egg

    Baked at 425 for 8 minutes, SO good!

    Glaze was

    25g powdered sugar
    .5 tsp vanilla extract
    .5 Tbsp 1% milk

    Turned out to be 89 cals each without the glaze, 111 cals with, and 6g protein. I got 6 donuts from that. Silicone molds worked beautifully.

    Definitely delicious and will make again. Still going to try the OP's recipe too...

    That's why I'm an Amazon Prime member..free 2 day shipping! The $99/yr membership more than pays for itself!
