Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond flour

½ cup chocolate protein powder

¼ cup cocoa powder

¼ cup coconut sugar

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

2 large eggs

¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

¼ cup almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.

Spoon batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
