Guilt-Free Indulgence: Almond Flour Chocolate Protein Donuts with Decadent Glaze

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. 3

   Add the eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
4. 4

   Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
5. 5

   Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into a donut comes out clean and the donuts spring back when gently touched.
6. 6

   Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. 7

   While donuts cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered erythritol (or sugar), cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more almond milk, ½ tablespoon at a time, if a thinner consistency is desired.
8. 8

   Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place back on the wire rack and let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
