Preheat oven to 325°F and grease your donut pan lightly with olive oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix maple syrup, olive oil, almond milk, egg, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir until just smooth—don’t overmix.
Spoon or pipe batter into donut cavities, filling each about 2/3 full.
