Truly magical Cranberry Orange Protein Donuts loaded with fresh cranberries and the sweet zesty orange. These healthy cranberry donuts use protein powder for sweetness, are sugar free, low calorie and low fat. Just 6 base doughnut ingredients too.
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan with cooking spray (or use a silicon pan).
In a bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder and baking powder.
In a large bowl, whisk applesauce, almond milk, eggs, orange juice and orange zest.
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.
Place cranberries in a bowl, sprinkle with extra flour and toss to coat.
Required to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

Bake for 20 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.
