Instructions
Creating your own Healthy Chocolate Protein Donuts is a breeze. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
5. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full. If you prefer, you can use a piping bag for cleaner filling.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Add Toppings: If desired, melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the donuts or sprinkle with shredded coconut and nuts before serving.
