# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup blanched almond flour
02 - 1/2 cup hemp protein powder
03 - 1/3 cup cocoa powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
09 - 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt
10 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins and Topping

11 - 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
12 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil
13 - 2 tablespoons almond butter

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine almond flour, hemp protein powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
02 - In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, maple syrup, coconut yogurt, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms, being careful not to overmix.
04 - Fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
05 - Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or coconut oil. Evenly divide the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Place the pan in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
07 - Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then gently transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - Melt 1 teaspoon coconut oil with almond butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
09 - Drizzle or spread the almond butter glaze over the cooled donuts. Optionally, garnish with additional chocolate chips if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing to prevent the topping from running.
