Delicious peanut butter baked donuts topped with a rich chocolate glaze, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (85g) chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (79ml) heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup (67g) peanut butter
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (124g) all purpose flour
- Chocolate sprinkles or chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Alternatively, spray mini or regular sized muffin pans with nonstick cooking spray.
- Make the glaze first: heat heavy whipping cream to almost boiling (don’t let it fully boil, once you notice a slight simmer it’s done) on the stove or in the microwave. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit one minute, then whisk until smooth. Set aside until ready to use.
- Stir together peanut butter, sugar, milk, vanilla, oil, and egg until smooth. Stir in baking powder and salt, then stir in flour.
- Place batter in a large gallon size ziploc bag and cut off one tip. Pipe into donut pan.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan then remove. Glaze once cooled.
- To glaze: dip donuts upside down in glaze. Sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles. Let set at room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use low-fat peanut butter.
- The donuts can be frozen for longer storage.
