In a mixing bowl mix the peanut butter and sugar on a high setting until the peanut butter is light and creamy. Add the egg replacer and whip for 1 minute. Add the vanilla and 1/3 of the dry ingredients, mix until just combined then add 1/3 of the milk, continue adding the dry mix and the milk in thirds. Stir in the hot water until the mix is thoroughly combined. Don’t over mix.

Bake for 10 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350° and bake for 10 -15 more minutes. Test with a toothpick. It should come out clean and the tops of the donuts should be slightly cracked.

Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan and cool on a cooling rack. Cool completely before glazing.
