Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: additional maple syrup for glazing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully fill each donut cavity in the pan about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle additional maple syrup over the cooled donuts if desired.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the fridge for up to a week.
- To reheat, microwave for a few seconds. For freezing, wrap each donut in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to three months.
