Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat your donut pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oil, melted butter, milk, egg, sugar, vanilla, and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold this into the wet ingredients gently.
  4. Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 16-17 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  8. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and let them set on the wire rack.
