Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup oat flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup vanilla or unflavored protein powder

1/2 cup coconut sugar or sweetener of choice

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or use a silicone donut mold for easy removal.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. If you're adding chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

          Fill the Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.

              Cool: Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Optional Topping: For a decadent touch, melt dark chocolate and drizzle over the cooled donuts or dip the tops into the melted chocolate.

                  Enjoy: Serve your healthy chocolate protein donuts fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
