Ingredients
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 20 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams whey protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 75 grams granulated sweetener (e.g., monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 large egg
- 120 ml milk
- 75 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 ml melted coconut oil
- 60 grams dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil for glaze
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, and whey protein powder until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat together the granulated sweetener, egg, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 5
Spoon the batter into a piping bag (or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off) and pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each well about two-thirds full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when touched and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the doughnuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
To make the glaze, melt the dark chocolate chips and tablespoon of coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Step 9
Once the doughnuts are cool, dip the top of each doughnut into the chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
Step 10
Place the glazed doughnuts back on the wire rack for the glaze to set. Enjoy!
