- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 6 slots of a donut pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all dry donut ingredients. This includes the almond flour, hemp protein, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Mix in the wet ingredients and whisk until smooth. This includes the eggs, maple syrup, yogurt and vanilla.
- Pour the batter into your greased donut pan, filling each slot nearly to the top. I find this easiest to do by pouring the batter into a plastic bag, cutting a hole on one end and then piping the batter into the donut pan.
- Place the donuts in your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes.
- After baking, let the donuts cool for a few minutes in the donut pan, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Cool donuts completely before adding the glaze (you can place them in the fridge to speed up this process).
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil. You can do this in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between. Or melt them in a small saucepan on the stovetop, over low heat.
- Once melted, mix in the almond butter.
- Dip each donut into the chocolate glaze, then place the donuts on a wire cooling rack or parchment paper.
- Place glazed donuts in the fridge or freezer to set .
Notes
This recipe has only been tested with hemp protein powder. The best alternative would be pumpkin seed protein, subbed at a 1:1 ratio by weight.
