10 donuts

16 min

Fat Thursday is long past and gone, though, it doesn't mean we can't enjoy a donut every now and then! I made these super delicious chocolate baked donuts some time ago and I absolutely fell in love with the recipe. It is not only extremely quick to make, but it also tastes absolutely unreal and it's baked! So for my fellow fitness enthusiasts, this one is for you! Feel free to join the baked donuts bandwagon and you won't regret it!

For this recipe, you won't need any fancy ingredients to make it tasty and healthy- ish and time isn't an issue here either - I'm sure you can find 15 minutes to make a couple of these beauties (or 20 mins!! if you'd like to batch make it!).

The recipe doesn't involve any chocolate making and store-bought chocolates as we aim to keep it as healthy (ish!!) as we can! Besides the power of cocoa powder is so underestimated - do not hesitate to grab some on your next visit to your local store!

Let's bake some donuts now!

Is this brewed coffee or instant coffee granules? I can't wait to try these.

  Hi there! It's totally up to you! I made these beauties using instant coffee (and coffee alternative once too) and both times it turned out amazing!

Answers, please... 1) What is protein powder & 2) what if I don't have any?. 3) What if you don't have a donut tray? 4) Can these be cut with biscuit cutter & then round hole cut in center in order to bake?

I gave a 5 star rating because I know coffee helps to enhance chocolate flavor and these have got to taste great. :) Also, when using dairy fats in place of oil in recipes, the product comes out more moist tasting and doesn't dry out as fast.

Thank you, Everyone, for your answers.

  Hi there!
  
  Protein powder is a dietary supplement and it's frequently used to boost daily protein intake. You can totally substitute that for an extra 30g of flour and 4 tbsp of cocoa powder. I used chocolate protein powder for this recipe to ensure donuts are chocolatey enough and to increase protein intake.
  
  If you don't have a donut tray, that's absolutely fine, these donuts can be formed using hands too (such a tray just makes is easier a faster). The batter is watery and runny so it should go quite smoothly to form donuts in hand.
  
  Hope this helps and enjoy your baking!

  Thank you for your response. However, I am puzzled by what you said. If the batter is watery and runny, how can it go quite smoothly to form donuts in hand? If that liquidity, couldn't I just pour it into the small bundt pans? If I can form them in hand, couldn't they just be easily cut with round cutter & a smaller one to make hole in middle? Again, thank you for your replies. :)
