Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 8 slots of a donut pan (I used avocado oil).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry donut ingredients. This includes the almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
Mix in the wet ingredients. This includes the eggs, mashed banana, yogurt, water and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the batter into your greased donut pan, filling each slot nearly to the top.
Place the donuts in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-28 minutes.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool about 10 minutes in the donut pan. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
Once the donuts have cooled to room temperature (you can place them in the fridge to speed up this process), make the glaze. Melt the dark chocolate, then mix in the sunflower seed butter**
One at a time, dip the donuts into the glaze, then place them back on the wire rack. When all of the donuts have been glazed, place them in the fridge for the chocolate to set.
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container in the fridge, up to one week.

Notes

*I have only tested this protein donut recipe with vanilla pea protein. Any brand or flavor of pea protein is okay. Pea protein tends to be quite absorbent, so if you try a different type of protein powder you may not need the ¼ cup water in the recipe.
