Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Add 2/3 Cup of whole wheat flour to a medium size bowl with baking powder, vanilla protein powder. Whisk together till combined. Next add a quarter cup of pure maple syrup, olive oil, milk, egg and vanilla extract. Whisk together till smooth and no lumps. Be careful not to over mix. Spray donut pan with olive oil till coated. Prepare your piping bag and use a baking spatula to scoop mixture into bag. Can use a spoon instead of bag but doesn't look exactly the same. Carefully fill 2/3 into each donut mold and bake in oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for a couple minutes and remove from pan and add to cooling rack. While cooling, prepare frosting. Melt coconut in the microwave for 15 seconds or until melted. In a small bowl add honey, cocoa powder, coconut oil, honey and milk. Mix until creamy. Dip each donut into frosting and decorate with fun pink chocolate drizzle or sprinkles! Enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer, you can skip the coconut oil but it does give it a creamy blend. Substitute whole wheat flour with all purpose or gluten free flour 1:1 ratio Substitute Cashew milk for any nut milk or regular milk. If use vanilla sweetened milk then skip vanilla extract. Maple syrup can be substituted for honey too.
