Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray your donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a seperate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, vanilla, maple syrup, and yogurt until incorporated and smooth.
