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 .
