Instructions
Preheat oven to 375* F.
In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, sugar, maple syrup, margarine, egg whites, vanilla yogurt, milk and vanilla.
Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
On a sheet of wax paper, sift the white whole wheat flour. (Make sure to measure out flour first then sift).
Combine sifted flour to the large bowl with other ingredients. Do not mix yet!
Add peanut powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Now, mix on medium speed with your electric mixer for 3-4 minutes.
Spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
Pour batter into a large ziplock bag, cutting a small hole in the corner of the bag.
Fill donut pan with batter.
Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.
Repeat again for remaining batter.
Allow donuts to cool on wire rack.
To make frosting, mix 1 tablespoon yogurt, 3 tablespoons of milk and powdered sugar in small bowl.
Drizzle over top of donuts and top with chopped nut brittle (aka granola bar pieces)!
Notes
*I used Stevia, whole milk, and a KIND Nuts & Spices Bar, but feel free to use your alternatives of choice!
