1/4 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup brewed espresso
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups white whole wheat flour

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease two 6-cup donut pans. Set aside.

Make the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring espresso, cream, and agave to a low simmer. Place chocolate chips in a small bowl, then pour hot cream mixture over top. Gently whisk chocolate until melted and glaze is completely smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract.
Dip cooled donuts into glaze and place on wire cooling rack to set. Enjoy!
