Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 6-cavity donut pan (or use a silicon pan).
In a large, mix almond flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, cinnamon,nutmeg, baking powder and baking soda.
In another bowl, whisk applesauce, almond milk, egg and melted butter.
Add wet mix to dry and whisk until just combined.
Don’t over mix the batter or the protein powder will make the batter tough.
Add the shredded carrots and gently fold the mix to form a batter.
Divide mixture evenly among donut pan cavities, filling about ¾ way up.
Bake for 20-22 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.
Glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, protein powder and milk.
Dunk donuts in glaze, shake off excess and set down on a cooling rack (dry side down).
Use spatula to spread around if needed.
