Instructions
Creating Healthy Chocolate Protein Donuts is an easy and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your own batch:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with cooking spray or oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and sea salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine!
5. Fill the Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan.
6. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle some dark chocolate chips or nuts on top of each filled donut mold for an extra boost of flavor.
7. Bake: Place the donut pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
