Recipe
Makes 12
4.8 oz. (135g) almond meal
2 oz. (60g) vanilla protein powder
1½ tsp. baking powder
4 fl oz. (120ml) maple syrup
2 large eggs, at room temperature
4 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
4 tbsp. unsweetened almond milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 tbsp. 70% dark chocolate, melted
2 tbsp. sprinkles
How to Prepare
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 12 hole silicone donut pan.
Add the almond meal, protein powder, baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt to a bowl and stir until combined. Add the maple syrup, eggs, coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla extract to the same bowl and mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly into each hole in the donut pan. Place into the hot oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then set aside on a wire cooling rack.
While the donuts are cooling, melt the chocolate. Drizzle the chocolate over the top and sprinkle with some sprinkles. Place the donuts into the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set.
Storage: place donuts in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
