  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all pronut ingredients and mix until smooth.
  3. Evenly distribute the batter into 6 sections of the donut pan.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the donuts are firm and spring back lightly when touched.
  5. While the donuts are baking, prepare the frosting by mixing together the cream cheese (room temperature), sugar-free chocolate syrup, and chocolate protein powder until smooth and creamy.

Notes

  • Using canned pumpkin keeps the donuts moist while adding fiber and nutrients.
  • Letting the donuts cool slightly helps the frosting stick better.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Macros may vary slightly based on brand of protein powder and ingredients used.
