Donuts:
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray (or use a silicon pan).
In a large bowl, pumpkin puree, almond milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter and egg.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
Add dry mix to wet and gently fold with a large spoon until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or the protein powder will make the batter tough.
Divide mixture evenly among donut pan cavities, filling about ¾ way up.
Use a piping bag for a rounded bottom.
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.
Protein Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
In a bowl, whisk together sugar substitute, protein powder and cinnamon.
Brush top of donuts with melted butter, or use finger tips to smear.
Use a spoon to pour/sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on donuts, shake off excess and set down on a cooling rack (dry side down).
