Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (170g) greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup (60g) maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup (160g) almond flour
  • ½ cup (46g) chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp instant espresso powder (optional, but highly recommended)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup (48g) dark chocolate chips

Chocolate Icing

  • 3 cups (345g) powdered sugar
  • ⅓ cup (32g) cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • (Optional): shaved dark chocolate and flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Add almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, espresso powder, and salt. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until a smooth batter forms. Fold in chocolate chips.

  3. Distribute batter into donut molds until almost full. Bake for 12-13 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are ok). Cool for 5 minutes in pan before carefully transferring donuts to a wire cooling rack.

  4. While donuts are cooling, prepare the frosting. Whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt until a smooth frosting forms. Add 1 tbsp more of milk at a time, if frosting is too thick.

  5. Once donuts are completely cooled, dunk the tops of the donuts into the frosting making sure to shake off any excess. (Optional): sprinkle over shaved chocolate and flaky sea salt.
