Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, protein, baking powder and salt and stir until combined.
- Add maple syrup, eggs, coconut oil, almond milk and vanilla extract to the same bowl and mix until just combined.
- Spray two (6-cavity) donut pans with cooking spray. Spoon or pipe batter evenly into the 12 cavities.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan for 2 minutes. Invert donuts onto a wire rack.
- While donuts are cooling, make icing by combining powdered sugar, cocoa powder and almond milk in a small mixing bowl.
- Once donuts have cooled completely, frost donuts and decorate with sprinkles (if using) and then place them on a wire rack for the glaze to firm up.
