Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
Add maple syrup and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
Transfer the batter into a plastic zip-top bag and snip off one corner.
Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
Bake for 18–20 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Melt dark chocolate for glazing if desired.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
