For the doughnuts
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Grease your donut pan. Set aside.
Place flour, cacao powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to fully combine.
Add egg replacer, margarine, canola oil, and vanilla to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine. Whisk in peanut butter, milk and date paste.
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir just until all of the dry ingredients are moistened. There may be some lumps.
Divide the mixture over the donut pan filling about ¾ full.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until donuts are golden brown and pass the clean toothpick test.
For the topping
Add the sugar, peanut butter, milk, and vanilla to a small bowl. Mix until well combined.
