Recipe
(Makes about 6-8)
(Donut)
✰ 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
✰ 1/4 cup applesauce
✰ 1/4 cup sweetener (I used monkfruit)
✰ 1/3 cup egg whites
✰ 1 tsp vanilla
✰ 1/4 cup cocoa powder
✰ 1/4 cup cassava flour (sub oat, GF, all purpose, almond)
✰ 1 scoop Level-1 Protein in German Chocolate Cake
✰ 1 tsp baking soda
(Frosting)
✰ 3/4 cup 0% fat Greek yogurt
✰ 2 tbsp cocoa powder
✰ 2 tsp chocolate sf jello-mix (optional but makes it thicker)
✰ 3 tbsp powdered sugar (I used monkfruit)
(Topping)
✰ 1 serving (28g) pretzels
1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Mix wet (pumpkin, applesauce, sweetener, egg, vanilla) and dry (cocoa, flour, protein, baking soda) in bowl and combine
3. Pour batter into donut pan and bake for about 20-23 min or until toothpick comes out clean
4. While baking, make frosting by combining all ingredients.
5. Let donuts cool, frost, and top, if desired.
pro tip: don’t top with the pretzels until you’re about to eat them so they don’t get soggy!
ps. If you don’t have a donut tin these would be great cupcakes/muffins!
