It’s time to upgrade your breakfast with these Triple Chocolate Protein Donuts made using protein powder! This protein packed recipe is loaded with fiber, absolutely delicious, and only takes around 10 minutes to make with simple ingredients.
Did I mention these chocolate protein donuts are low carb AND low calorie too?
Start by taking out a bowl big enough to put all of your ingredients into and something to mix them with. I like a hand mixer for this recipe but with enough effort, anything should work!
Add into your bowl 1 large whole egg, 3 large egg whites, 1 scoop of a chocolate protein powder, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 6 tablespoons of coconut flour, 1 ounce of milk substitute, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted dark chocolate chips.
You can easily melt your chocolate chips by microwaving them for 20-30 seconds, stirring them around, and repeating until melted. Keep in mind that the more powerful your microwave is, the less time that this process will take.
Mix everything together until smooth.
Take out a donut pan like this one, coat it with some non-stick cooking spray, and evenly distribute your mix into it. You want to make sure you don’t cover the raised flat portion of each donut slot, this will be your chocolate protein donuts hole.
Top your donuts with whatever you want before the oven!
Chocolate Protein Donuts Topping
- Crushed up nuts
- Fresh mint
- Sugar free chips
- Sprinkles
- Baking M&M’s
Bake them on 350F/176C for around 8-10 minutes depending on the size of your chocolate protein donuts. The bigger they are, the longer they’ll take.
Remove them from the oven, let them cool, and get ready to satisfy your donut cravings!
Pro tip? Top them again with some Greek yogurt, nut butter, sugar free syrup, or even one of our Protein Frosting Recipes!

if we’re using white whole wheat flour or oat flour, would we still use 6 tbsp? is there a different ratio of coconut flour vs. oat flour?
Hey Derek i just got an air fryer and been thinking about using one of your recipes to make some protein doughnuts with it. Any suggestions that you might have!! I also think it’d be cool if you start featuring some air fryer recipes. Thank you
Hey Derek. First of all, your recipes are awesome! It allows a complete novice like me to make amazingly healthy cheesecake! Quick question, instead of coconut flour or almond flour and dark chocolate, would I be able to get away with using a protein pancake mix? Thank you!
Hey Mj! Thank you. Hmm, I think this really depends on the mix and what it has in it. I think it’s worth a shot…
Hi Derek,
Would these work in a doughnut maker or only in the oven?
Thanks!
Hi Jess! Having never used a doughnut maker I can’t confirm or deny that it works in one!
