The softest, fluffiest and healthiest Gingerbread Protein Donuts you will ever have! Low fat, low calorie and high protein gingerbread doughnuts with the warm spices and molasses, but no guilt!
Glaze:
Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 12-hole donut pan with cooking spray to grease.
In a big bowl, whisk dry ingredients - flour, vanilla and unflavored protein powder, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, baking soda and baking powder.
In another bowl whisk wet ingredients - applesauce, milk, molasses, melted butter, egg.
Add wet mix to dry and whisk until just combined.
Divide mixture evenly among donut pan cavities, filling about ⅔-¾ way up.
Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
Let cool for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
Glaze:
Let donuts cool completely.
In a bowl, whisk almond butter, protein powder and milk (adding little at a time) until smooth.
Dunk donuts in glaze, set down, and top with holiday sprinkles.
