Recipe Notes: Another variation I've tried is using two egg whites instead of the whole egg and ¼ cup raw coconut crystals in place of the stevia. For the frosting we've also used nonfat plain Greek yogurt with a packet of stevia and a few drops of vanilla extract.

Ingredients
Donuts
1cupwhole wheat flour
1largeegg
¼cupunsweetened applesauce
¼cuppumpkin puree(not pumpkin pie filling)
⅓cupplain Greek yogurt
1tsp.pumpkin pie spice
¼tsp.baking powder
⅛tsp.salt
½tsp.baking soda
¼cupunsweetened vanilla almond milk(or plain)
1tsp. pure vanilla extract
4packetsstevia
Glaze
½scoopwhey protein powder(I used cinnamon swirl but vanilla is fine too)
Stir all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until you have a well-mixed batter.
Carefully spoon the batter into a doughnut pan. Don't fill too high, or you won't have a hole in the middle of your doughnut when they are done baking. Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick pulls out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool.
For the glaze, simply whisk all the glaze ingredients together in a small mixing bowl and pour over the cooled donuts.
Let it dry a bit and serve.
