Calories 92kcal

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 scoops chocolate whey protein powder (44 grams)
4 Tablespoons Confectioners sweetener (I use Monk Fruit Confectioners sweetener)
6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup liquid egg whites
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
For Frosting:
2 ounces Light cream cheese, softened
2 Tablespoons Light chocolate syrup
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder (33 grams)
1 ½ Tablespoons sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
Rainbow sprinkles

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray two (6-count) donut pans with non-stick spray.
Add flour, chocolate protein powder, confectioners sweetener, cocoa powder and baking powder to a large bowl. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients.
Add the egg whites, pumpkin and applesauce to the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently stir until just combined. (Try not to over-mix.)
Carefully spoon the batter into the greased donut cavities about ⅔ of the way full. (Don’t overfill.)
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely and then remove from the donut pan.
For Frosting:
Blend together all frosting ingredients until smooth. If frosting is too thick, you can thin it with a little fat free milk.
Frost cooled donuts then top each donut with a pinch of rainbow sprinkles. Enjoy!
