Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 415 g before cooking, which is about 70 g per serving.
Steps
Add the oat flour, egg, unsweetened almond milk, nonfat Greek yogurt, protein powder, baking powder, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Stir until the batter is smooth and evenly combined, with no visible dry pockets.
Lightly spray a silicone donut mold with cooking spray, coating the wells and especially the edges so the cooked donuts release easily.
Divide the batter evenly among the donut wells. Do not overfill them, since the batter will expand as it cooks.
Microwave the filled mold for 5–6 minutes, or until the donuts are set and no longer wet in the center. Microwave power varies, so begin checking at 5 minutes and add time if needed.
Allow the donuts to stand briefly, then carefully remove them from the mold. Melt the 70% cacao chocolate until smooth.
Dip the donuts lightly into the melted chocolate or drizzle the chocolate over them. Place them on parchment paper.
Let the chocolate set and the donuts cool. For faster cooling, place them in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes before serving.
