Healthy Chocolate Protein Donuts made with almond flour and hemp protein.
Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 cup blanched almond flour 95g, spooned & leveled
- ½ cup hemp protein powder 35g, spooned & leveled
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder 32g, spooned & leveled
- ½ tsp cinnamon optional
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp almond butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 6 slots of a donut pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, hemp protein powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, maple syrup, coconut yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag (or plastic bag with the tip cut off) and pipe evenly into the donut pan, filling each cavity nearly to the top.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes until set and slightly firm to the touch.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing
Notes
- You can skip the glaze for a lower-calorie option.
