Ingredients

Protein Donuts

  • 1/4 C 30g All Purpose Flour
  • 1 scoop 32g Protein Powder, vanilla
  • 3/8 C 92g Liquid Egg Whites, or two whole egg whites
  • 1/2 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

Protein Frosting/Glaze

  • 2 oz Fat-Free Cream Cheese room temp or softened
  • 1/4 C 60mL Fat-Free Evaporated Milk
  • 1 scoop 32g Protein Powder, vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 6-donut pan with low-cal cooking spray.
  • Mix all donut ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth. (Depending on the consistency of your protein powder, you may not need the additional apple sauce or pumpkin. If your donut batter is too thick, add as needed.)
  • Spoon the donut batter into the donut pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. 
  • 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.
  • Allow donuts to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Frost and enjoy!
