Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup blanched almond flour (95g)
  • 1/3 cup protein powder, spooned & leveled*
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch (30g)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened yogurt (I used coconut yogurt)
  • 3 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp almond butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease 7 slots of a donut pan. (I used avocado oil.)
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry donut ingredients. This includes the almond flour, protein powder*, tapioca starch, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the wet ingredients. This includes the eggs, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla. (See notes section below if using pea protein). Whisk the batter until it has a smooth, even consistency.
  4. Fill Donut Pan: Pour the batter into your greased donut pan, filling each slot just below the rim.
  5. Bake Donuts: Place the donuts in your oven and bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes.
  6. Cool Donuts: After baking, let the donuts cool in the mold for 10 minutes before removing them. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Cool to room temperature before dipping in the chocolate glaze.
  7. Prepare Glaze: For the glaze, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a small, microwaveable bowl. Make sure the bowl is large enough to fit a donut (for dipping). Melt the chocolate and oil in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring between. Once melted, mix in the almond butter.
  8. Dip Donuts in Glaze: Dip the donuts, one at a time, into the chocolate glaze. You can add any of your favorite toppings, from dye free sprinkles to chopped nuts or shredded coconut.

Notes

  • If using pea protein, see notes section below in instructions for best results.
  • Use avocado oil or another neutral oil to grease the donut pan generously.
  • Let donuts cool completely before glazing for best texture.
