Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs

• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.333 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for easy filling, and pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan.

Step 6

Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, the donuts can be enjoyed immediately or topped with your favorite glaze, nuts, or dusted with cinnamon sugar.
