Utensils

Step 1

Place the donut ingredients into your Ninja Kitchen food processor and whizz up well until you have quite a thick, chocolate batter.
Step 2

Divide between a 6 hole donut tin (greased / silicone) and fill each one to the top with the mixture. Bake at 180C for 20-25 minutes until risen and firm, then leave to cool.
Step 3

Whisk together the nut butter, maple syrup, protein powder and 2 tablespoons milk. Spoon half of this on 3 donuts, then add the cocoa powder and other tablespoon of milk to create a chocolate topping then spoon this on the other 3.
Step 4

Decorate with chopped nuts, cacao nibs, granola – and enjoy!
