Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup flour (90g)
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (30g)
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (10g)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
- Grease a donut pan or a mini muffin pan for donut holes. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Stir in the peanut butter, water, yogurt or mashed banana, and maple syrup or honey to form a smooth batter.
- Smooth the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan or muffin pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out mostly clean.
- Let the donuts fully cool, then carefully run a knife around the edges before removing them from the pan. Add frosting or toppings as desired, and enjoy.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
- You can customize the toppings according to your preference.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based yogurt and ensure your protein powder is vegan.
