Protein Donuts
Protein Donuts blend almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and baking powder with moisture from eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and almond milk to create baked donuts with a light, moist texture. A cocoa powder glaze topped with sprinkles adds a sweet finishing touch. These donuts are baked in molds for even shape and gently spring back when done. Their moderate sweetness and protein content make them suitable for a snack or breakfast treat that can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated.

- 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.

- 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.

Notes
- Store donuts at room temperature for 2-3 days to maintain texture.
- For longer storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for 4-5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- Allow glaze to firm after frosting before storing to avoid stickiness.
