Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Heat the oven to 165°C (325°F) and grease a donut pan well. Whisk the coconut flour, sweetener, 3 tbsp cocoa, whey protein, baking powder and salt, breaking up any lumps. 0:25
- Add the eggs, melted butter and vanilla and stir; the mixture will be very thick. 1:17
- Work in the cold coffee a little at a time until the batter is thick but just pourable (how much depends on your coconut flour and cocoa). 2:16
- Scoop or pipe the batter into the donut wells and spread it around the ring. It makes about 8, so bake in two batches if your pan holds 6. 3:05
- Bake 16–20 minutes, until risen and just firm to the touch. Cool before glazing. 3:59
- For the glaze, whisk the powdered sweetener with 1 tbsp cocoa, then the cream and vanilla, thinning with a little cold coffee until you can dip into it. 4:16
- Dip the top of each cooled donut in the glaze, set on baking paper, add any decoration while tacky, and leave about 30 minutes to set (quicker in the fridge). 5:17
Tip. Coffee deepens the chocolate taste; water or almond milk work too. Avocado or coconut oil can replace the butter. Chopped nuts or sugar-free sprinkles make a good topping.
The method is a summary in our words — the video shows every step.

Selenium Source13%
7.4 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (78%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin A Source11%
95 µg a serve, mostly from butter (51%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin B12 Source10%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (83%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Magnesium5%
21 mg a serve, mostly from cocoa powder (45%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Zinc5%
0.5 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (39%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Iron4%
0.8 mg a serve, mostly from cocoa powder (35%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Potassium3%
140 mg a serve, mostly from coconut flour (37%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Vitamin D3%
0.5 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (75%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin E3%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (45%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Folate3%
11 µg a serve, mostly from eggs (74%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B63%
0 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (50%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Omega-33%
0 g a serve, mostly from butter (43%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Calcium2%
26 mg a serve, mostly from eggs (36%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin K1%
0.8 µg a serve, mostly from butter (64%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from heavy cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
