Baked Peanut Butter Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze
Ingredients
For the doughnuts:
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the glaze:
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon corn syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Lightly grease a doughnut pan.
- Using a mixer, combine peanut butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in milk, oil, vanilla, and egg; mix. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt over top of peanut butter mixture. Use mixer to blend until just combined. Transfer to a pastry bag with a large, round tip (or a zip top bag) and pipe into doughnut pan. Bake 8 – 10 minutes, until doughnuts are golden brown and spring back when touched. Flip onto a wire rack and allow to cool for a few minutes before glazing.
- To make the glaze, whisk together melted butter and cocoa powder. Once the cocoa powder has melted into the butter, add milk, corn syrup, vanilla, and powdered sugar; whisk. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more milk.
- Dip the doughnuts into the glaze and allow the glaze to set about 30 minutes before serving.
