Baked Chocolate Donuts with Peanut Butter Glaze and Reese’s Cups

April 21, 2015

Baked peanut butter chocolate donuts with peanut butter glaze and chopped Reese’s cups for topping!

It’s baaaack. Let’s face it, peanut butter never left.

What can I say? This was bound to happen and we both know it. There are two foods I would take with me to a desert island: peanut butter and donuts. Any kind of donut, I don’t even care which.

Given the choice, I’d pick cream-filled chocolate glazed, but I’m honestly not picky enough to care. I just want an island full of donuts. And peanut butter.

Plus these donuts include chocolate too, so they’re basically the perfect food.

These Baked Peanut Butter Chocolate DonutsΒ are easy and no fuss. Well, as easy as making cupcakes and frosting them. If you think cupcakes are pretty simple, donuts are too.

This is just a simple baked cake donut, doused with a rich peanut butter glaze, and dunked in a bowl of chopped up peanut butter cups. Yep. The end.

      You could probably make these in 30 minutes start-to-finish. You guys should make them over the weekend!!!

    Everytime I come here you have such fabulous recipes. To be honest, one of my favorite combinations is chocolate and peanut butter. One of my little ones has a nut allergy, so I don’t get it very often, but I love dreaming of it! Thank you for sharing at Snickerdoodle. Hope to see you again tomorrow!

    Uh Oh. This could be bad. I’m not sure there is any more perfect food than chocolate and peanut butter paired together, but add it to a donut? Talk about perfection!

    My son wants to open a donut and brownie store some day (much like the popular cupcake stores except he’d offer donuts in the morning and brownies in the afternoon as the kids get out of school.) We’ve been collecting recipes and giving them a try every weekend. This is definitely going on our “to do” list.

    I just hope that I can give them a try without eating all the peanut butter cups before hand. Or maybe I’ll just move to a deserted island so I can try these without having to share! Thanks for sharing the recipe! I’m off to pin it now!

      That is such a great idea! Your son is so smart and creative – I love how original that idea is for the bakery. I’m so glad you are baking a lot together, and I hope you try these donuts! They are about as close to heaven on earth as you can find! Haha! πŸ™‚

    Made these this morning, was really disappointed – a few helpful hints to those thinking about making them: there’s NO chocolate flavor – if you like a chocolatey donut, you’ll probably want to double the amount of cocoa powder. With the glaze – next time, I’m going to try milk instead of water – the consistency of the glaze was ok but again, the flavor was lacking. Overall, it’s a decent recipe, but a few tweeks will probably improve them significantly.
