A classic combination, these chocolate chip protein donuts are a delicious and satisfying treat with 19g of protein. Packed with high-quality whey protein, they offer a perfect balance of macronutrients—ideal for fueling your day or aiding muscle recovery. The tender, moist interior is complemented by a slight crunch on the outside, with pockets of melty chocolate chips that satisfy your sweet tooth without overindulging. With their rich chocolate flavor and soft, airy texture, these donuts make a guilt-free indulgence that’s perfect for post-workout recovery or a quick, nutritious breakfast. They’re also versatile for meal prep—you can batch bake them and enjoy a healthy snack throughout the week. For gluten-free options, substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour, and vegans can replace whey with plant-based protein powders. To achieve the best results, be sure not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy, and use a silicone donut mold for easy removal. Whether you’re craving a sweet pick-me-up or need a high-protein snack on the go, these donuts deliver on flavor and nutrition in every bite.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut pan.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and Greek yogurt.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

5

Pipe or spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

6

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My donuts are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
