INGREDIENTS
Makes 6 donuts

¼ c (30g) all-purpose flour
1 scoop (32g) vanilla protein powder
3/8 c (92g) liquid egg whites
½ c (120g) canned pumpkin
1 tbsp (15g) unsweetened apple sauce (or an extra 1-2 tbsp canned pumpkin)
1 tbsp stevia or 0-cal sweetener
1 tsp baking powder 1-2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Cream Cheese Frosting

2 oz fat-free cream cheese room temp or softened
¼ c (60mL) fat-free evaporated milk
1 scoop (32g) vanilla protein powder

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 6-donut pan with low-cal cooking spray.

2. Mix all donut ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. (Depending on the consistency of your protein powder, you may not need the additional applesauce or pumpkin. If your pumpkin batter is too thick, add as needed.)

3. Spoon the donut batter into the donut pan.

4. Bake for 15 minutes.

5. While your donuts are in the oven, make your frosting by mixing the cream cheese, evaporated milk, and protein powder together. If your cream cheese is not room temp, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds.

6. Allow donuts to cool slightly before removing from pan.

7. Frost and enjoy!
