These baked chocolate protein donuts are a cakey, chocolatey treat that serves as a post-workout reward or quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate-flavored 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

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or use a silicone pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cacao powder, protein powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the maple syrup (or honey), applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the greased donut cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a vegan option, use maple syrup and plant-based protein powder. Adjust milk based on the thickness of the batter.
