Instructions

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.

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!
