Ingredients

Chocolate Donuts:

1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (32g)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (30g)
2 Tbsp Dutch black cocoa (12g)
2 Tbsp granular sweetener (24g) I used Swerve
Dash of salt
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup canned pumpkin or unsweetened applesauce (180g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp egg whites (92g)

Glaze:

6 Tbsp confectioner's sugar (56g) I used Swerve
1 Tbsp cold water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray eight cavities of a donut pan(s) with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the dry ingredients together (protein powder through salt). Add the applesauce, egg whites and vanilla and mix well to combine (I used a hand mixer for this but you don’t have to).
Pour batter into the donut cavities filling only 7/8 of the way full. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until toothpick comes out mostly clean.
To make the glaze, mix the confectioners sugar and cold water together.
Let the donuts cool for a 10 minutes in pan then remove from the pan and spread the glaze on top. Allow the glaze to set for 5-10 minutes, then enjoy!
