Dough Bar Doughnuts, a California-based online retailer, sells drool-worthy doughnuts that are baked, not fried, and packed with 11 grams of protein. The company, which has over 113,000 followers on Instagram, offers a healthy alternative by "[eliminating] the nasty fats and oils" found in fried doughnuts. Yep, suddenly we're intrigued!
