Grease a mini donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Beat the peanut butter with the brown sugar until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, egg and maple extract until well combined. Stir the flour with the baking powder and salt. Stir into the wet mixture until just combined. Scrape the batter into a re-sealable plastic bag; snip off the bottom corner and squeeze out all the air. Slowly pipe the batter into each cavity so it is halfway full. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter to make 36 donuts. Maple Peanuts Place the peanuts and maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the syrup has caramelized. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer; cool completely. Finely chop. Glaze Stir icing sugar with peanut butter and until smooth. Add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. Dip the top of each donut into the glaze. Set on a wire rack and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Let stand until set. Tip: Use leftover candied peanuts over ice cream or to garnish other baked goods, such as cakes, banana bread or chocolate chip cookies.
