Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray (or use a silicon pan).
In a large bowl, whisk applesauce, almond milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter and egg.
In another bowl, mix flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, baking powder and baking soda.
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.
Add in most dried fruit and mix.
Spread remaining dried fruit and chopped pecans in donut pan cavities.
Divide mixture evenly among donut pan cavities, filling about ¾ way up.
Use a piping bag for a rounded bottom.
Bake for 12-14 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.
