Mix the protein, powdered peanut butter, flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate, and vanilla extract.

Combine wet and dry ingredients, gently folding them back and forth until a thick batter is formed.

Add chocolate chips.

Spoon or pipe out six donuts into the pan using the batter.
