1

Prepare the doughnut batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the doughnuts tough.

2

Fry the doughnuts to perfection

Heat up a large pot with oil for frying. You'll need enough oil to fully submerge the doughnuts, so aim for about 2-3 inches deep. Once the oil reaches a temperature of 350°F, carefully drop spoonfuls of doughnut batter into the hot oil. Fry each doughnut for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to transfer the cooked doughnuts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
