Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup almond milk or other non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, blend the maple syrup (or honey), applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the greased donut cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them plain, or glaze them for an extra treat!
Notes
For sweeter donuts, increase the maple syrup or honey. Try adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for added flavor and texture.
