Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your donut pan by greasing it.
  2. Whisk together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, and honey, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Fill each cavity of your donut pan about three-quarters full with batter.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
