Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
Combine the applesauce, peanut butter, honey, and egg. Mix well.
Add in the dry ingredients one by one and mix. The mixture will thicken.
Use a spoon and silicone spatula to portion the batter into the donut pan. Take care to shape them slightly.
Bake for 15 minutes and let cool completely before removing from the mold.
When you're ready to make the glaze, add the coconut oil and honey into a small sauce pot and heat on low.
When the coconut oil melts, remove from the heat and whisk in the two other ingredients.
Very carefully, remove the donuts from the molds and dip them gently into the glaze (they're delicate!). Place them on parchment paper to sit.
Top with sprinkles if you wish.

These protein donut recipe works best if you use a silicone donut mold. Using a steel tray makes them very difficult to get out even if greased.
As it is, make sure to cool fully in the mold before removing them.
Since the protein donuts are very light, they’re also very delicate. It works best if you chill them in the fridge for an hour or two before glazing. However, you can do it once they’re cooled. Just know that you have to be extra careful.
Make sure the glaze is just coming off the warmer. As it cools it starts to thicken and harden making it extra tricky to dip the donuts.
