1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a donut baking pan with cooking spray (or make aluminum foil cylinders with a flat bottom and set them in the middle of a muffin tin).
3. Sift flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, mash the avocado and mix in egg until smooth. Add sugar and olive oil and mix until smooth. Whisk in milk and vanilla extract.
5. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients while beating on low. Increase the mixed speed to medium and beat until well incorporated.
6. Pour batter into each well of the prepared donut pan about ¾ of the way to the top (about ¼ cup in each) – do not cover the donut hole center.
7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to slightly cool. Flip them onto a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack.
8. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and water or milk. Dip each donut into the glaze or pour a tablespoon of glaze onto each donut.
