Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, hemp protein powder, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and maple syrup until smooth.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold three-quarters full.
