Lightly coat a donut pan with nonstick spray or oil and set aside.<\/p>\n<h id=\"instruction-step-3\"3 data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1336\"><strong>2. Combine the Dry Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"instruction-step-4\" data-start=\"1337\" data-end=\"1500\">In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended and lump-free.<\/p>\n<h id=\"instruction-step-5\"3 data-start=\"1502\" data-end=\"1532\"><strong>3.
