    Chocolate Glaze:

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 6-cavity donut pan with cooking spray to grease.

    2. In a bowl whisk applesauce and egg whites.

    3. Prepare 2 dry mixes:

    4. Add half wet mixture into each bowl, and gently fold each until combined.

      DO NOT OVER-MIX or gluten from flour or protein powder will bake donuts dense. Batter should be thick

    5. Divide peanut butter batter evenly among donut pan cavities, and then add chocolate batter (peanut butter should be on bottom).

    6. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out dry.

      Allow to cool slightly.

    2. Use spoon to spread chocolate on top (rounded) side of donut.
