Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whey protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup chopped mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until pale and creamy. Mix in the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Add the milk slowly to the batter, stirring to achieve a smooth consistency.
Fold in the chopped nuts and dark chocolate chips gently.
Spoon the batter evenly into the greased donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein chocolate donuts as a tasty snack or dessert with a nutty crunch!
