Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup chocolate protein powder
- 0.5 cup greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chocolate protein powder until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, milk, melted coconut oil, egg, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Optionally, glaze the donuts with a mixture of protein powder and a splash of milk or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
