Ingredients
  

Doughnuts
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted, divided, plus more for greasing 60 ml
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup 60 ml
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond flour 112 g
  • 3 scoops chocolate protein powder about 1/4 cup, 30 g
  • 3 Tbsp cacao powder 15 g
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips 90 g
  • Sprinkles for topping

Method
 

Doughnuts

  1. Preheat and Grease Pan:

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Apply coconut oil to a donut pan to grease it.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    In a bowl, beat together eggs, 1/4 cup (60 ml) melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:

    Add almond flour, protein powder, cacao powder, and baking powder; stir until no dry spots remain.

  4. Fill and Bake Donuts:

    Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full with batter using a spoon or piping bag. Tap the pan on the counter to settle. Bake 10 minutes until risen. Cool before unmolding.
Glaze

  1. Glaze and Decorate:

    For the glaze: Combine chocolate chips and remaining 1 Tbsp (15 ml) coconut oil in a bowl; melt until smooth. Dip each cooled donut halfway into the glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a wire rack. Optionally top with sprinkles while glaze is still wet. Wait for glaze to harden fully before serving.
