Method
Heat oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
Blend the cottage cheese completely smooth.
Whisk the almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder and salt until lump-free.
In another bowl whisk the blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, eggs, melted butter and vanilla until smooth.
Fold the wet into the dry just until no dry powder remains; add milk a splash at a time if too thick to pipe.
Pipe into the pan until each cavity is two-thirds full.
Bake 12-15 minutes until the tops spring back when pressed.
Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then on a rack.
Whisk the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla, salt and milk into a glaze; dip each donut.
