Ingredients
  

For the Donuts

  • 1 ½ cups peanut butter cookie mix dry*
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

For the Frosting

  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 5 Tablespoons peanut butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • cup whole oats
  • 3-4 Tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • cup mini M&Ms

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF and grease a mini donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter cookie mix and baking soda. Add the egg, butter, and yogurt and stir until combined.
  • Transfer batter to a large plastic zip-top bag. Cut the tip off of one of the bottom corners and fill each donut reservoir about halfway.
  • Bake in the oven for 7-8 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly touched. Allow donuts to cool in donut pan for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the powdered sugar, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing between each addition. Add the oats and continue mixing just until combined. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, until creamy.
  • Frost each donut and top with mini chips and M&Ms. Donuts will stay fresh sealed in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
