Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for glaze)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray. This will guarantee your donuts release easily after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This dry mixture will provide the structure for your donuts.
- In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense donuts.
- Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 of the way full. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- While the donuts cool, prepare the chocolate glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and melted butter in a small bowl until smooth and glossy. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the cooling rack to set for about 10 minutes before serving.
Extra Tips:
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to the batter before baking. You can also sprinkle crushed peanuts on top of the glaze for added texture and presentation.
These donuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, making them perfect for meal prep or a sweet treat throughout the week.
