Mini Chocolate Protein Donuts with Chocolate Glaze

These donuts are filled with protein, whole grains, almond meal and yummy chocolaty goodness.  Trying to make healthy desserts that actually taste good can be a challenge but these donuts are super delicious and guilt free!




Ingredients:
3/4 cup almond flour (also called Almond Meal)
1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
3/4 cup whole-grain flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons Truvia sweetener (Stevia)
¼ cup egg whites
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/3 cup water

For Glaze:
¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons unsweetened coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix first eight ingredients together in medium mixing bowl.

Add egg whites, canola oil, stirring until well-combined. Slowly mix in water until incorporated.

Fill each mold 1/2 full with batter with a spoon or using a piping bag. 

Bake 8 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

In small microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate chips 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla. 

While glaze is still warm, dunk tops of each donut in glaze or drizzle across the tops with a spoon.
