Protein Funfetti Cake Donuts with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

SERVING SIZE: 1 donut

YIELDS: 4 servings

– 35g light butter (Country Crock brand is recommended)
– 100g unsweetened applesauce
– 1/2 tbsp butter flavoring
– 50g vanilla whey
– 40g coconut flour
– 1/4 tsp baking powder
– Stevia/Splenda to taste
– 46g egg whites
– 1 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
– 66g Greek whipped cream cheese

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder because it can create a cardboard texture. Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is the Devotion Nutrition brand. If you are interested in trying Devotion Nutrition, use “AVATAR” at checkout and save 10%.
