Ingredients
For the Donuts:
1 cup blanched almond flour (95g), spooned & leveled
½ cup hemp protein powder (35g), spooned & leveled
⅓ cup cocoa powder (32g), spooned & leveled
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup yogurt (unsweetened coconut yogurt preferred)
2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
2 tbsp almond butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-slot donut pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, hemp protein, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, maple syrup, yogurt, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Whisk until smooth.
Pipe or spoon the batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each slot nearly to the top.
Bake for 18–20 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir in almond butter until smooth.
Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and place on parchment or a wire rack. Chill in the fridge or freezer until set.
