For the Batter
  • 1 cup Oat Flour Replace with a gluten-free blend for gluten-free donuts.

  • 2 large Eggs Flax eggs work well for a vegan replacement.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Critical for leavening.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your donut pan by greasing it.
  2. In a large bowl, mix oat flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and baking powder until uniform.
  3. In another bowl, beat together Greek yogurt, eggs, and sweetener until smooth and creamy.
  4. Combine the wet and dry mixtures, folding until just combined to prevent overmixing.
  5. Fold in chopped almonds or dried cherries if desired.
  6. Fill each cavity of the donut pan about 3/4 full with the batter.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for a few moments before transferring to a wire rack.
