These chocolate baked donuts are soft, fudgy, and ready in under 30 minutes. Made with protein powder and topped with a chocolate glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cup (187 g) All-purpose flour
- 1/4 Cup (27 g) chocolate protein powder
- 1/3 Cup (29 g) Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp. (2 g) Baking soda
- 1 tsp. (5 g) Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. (3 g) Salt
- 1 tsp. (4 g) vanilla extract
- 2/3 Cup (158 ml) maple syrup
- 1 Cup (200 g) Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1/3 Cup (79 ml) Milk (any percent)
- 1/2 Cup (118 ml) Oil (such as avocado oil)
- 2 eggs
Chocolate Glaze
- 3/4 Cup (90 g) Powdered sugar
- 1/4 Cup (21 g) Cocoa powder
- 3-4 Tbsp. (45 g) Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 12 donut tins well and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, add the eggs, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add the batter to a large ziplock bag and cut off one corner. Carefully pipe the batter evenly into each greased donut tin.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes or until the batter is fully set and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before removing the donuts from the pan. Transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once the donuts are fully cooled, make the chocolate glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons of milk. Whisk until smooth. Add an extra tablespoon of milk if the glaze is too thick.
- Dip each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze and set back on the cooling rack. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before enjoying.
