Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups Almond Flour Can use a gluten-free flour blend for similar results.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Use unsweetened cocoa for better health benefits.
  • 1 scoop Chocolate Protein Powder Can replace with plant-based protein for a vegan version.
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Use applesauce for a vegan alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs Flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water) for a vegan option.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensure it's gluten-free if required.
  • 1/4 cup Sweetener (e.g., honey, maple syrup) Reduce sweetness by about 25% without ruining the recipe.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan lightly with cooking spray or oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and your chosen sweetener.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend together Greek yogurt and eggs until smooth and creamy. Incorporate any optional add-ins now.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into each donut cavity of the greased pan, filling them about three-quarters full and smoothing the tops.
  6. Place the filled donut pan into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes, then gently coax the donuts out using a fork or spatula.
