These Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts give you all of the pumpkin spice flavors while also being PACKED with protein to keep you fuller longer.

Here’s what you need to make these delicious, festive Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts:

---

-Pumpkin Spice Premier Protein

-Pumpkin Spice Extract

-Egg Whites

-Vanilla Extract

-Flour

-Baking Powder

-Sugar (sugar replacement)

-Cinnamon

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fareinheight. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients, then add in your Pumpkin Spice Premier Protein, Egg Whites, pumpkin spice extract, and vanilla extract until you get a semi-thick, but smooth texture.

Once all of your ingredients are mixed well, grab your 6 donut pan, spray with a non-stick spray, and add your batter to the pan.

Pop your donuts in the oven and bake for 10-14 mins.

Your baking time may vary depending on your oven and your donut pan, so be sure to take a toothpick and check that your donuts have cooked all the way through before removing them from the oven.

Once they’re done baking, allow them to cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes. Then remove them from the pan and let them continue to cool on a cooling rack.

Next, you can add the optional, yet delicious cinnamon sugar topping. Simply melt your butter in one bowl and in a separate bowl combine cinnamon and your sugar substitute. Next, dip the cooled donuts in the butter and then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

There You Have It!

Super easy, delicious Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts that are the perfect treat to enjoy this Fall weather without the guilt!
