Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your mixing bowl, whisk, and donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture using a spatula until just combined, ensuring no dry flour remains.
  5. Scoop the batter into a plastic bag, cut off one corner, and pipe into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Melt dark chocolate for the glaze, and once the donuts are cool, dip the tops into the melted chocolate.
