Place eggs, vegetable oil, and maple syrup in a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture is emulsified, light, and slightly foamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder; use a spatula to mix thoroughly until all the almond flour is incorporated and you have a very thick batter.

Transfer the batter to a pastry bag, or to a plastic zip-top bag with one corner cut off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan.

Dip a finger in water and smooth the tops of the batter to even them out. Tap the pan on the work surface a few times to help settle the batter further.

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into a donut comes out clean, 9 to 10 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack. Cool completely before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
