Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts

by aimee @ shugarysweets on January 4, 2012

 

Baked donuts are now a weekend treat at the Shugary house. They literally take about 10 minutes to prepare, 12 minutes to bake. Clean up your mess while they are baking and it’s an easier breakfast than eggs, french toast and bacon! Plus, once you bite into that dough, you know this was the right choice.

As you can see, my New Year’s resolutions did not include giving up chocolate. Or sweets. I promise.

 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts

Rating: 51

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Yield: 8-10 donuts

Ingredients

    FOR THE DONUTS:
  • 2 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp milk
  • 2 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • FOR THE FROSTING:
  • 1 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp corn syrup
  • 1 oz bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 oz semi sweet chocolate morsels
  • 2 oz peanut butter morsels
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. For the donuts, mix dry ingredients in bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla and butter. Beat until well blended.
  2. Spray donut pan with cooking spray. Fill each donut cup about 3/4 full (I use a ziploc with the corner snipped to do this neatly). Fills about 8-10 donuts.
  3. Bake donuts in 325 degree oven for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, remove from pan.
  4. While cooling, make chocolate glaze. In small saucepan on medium low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla and corn syrup. When butter is completely melted, turn heat to low and add in the chocolate and peanut butter morsels. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar.
  5. Dip each donut into the glaze, allow to cool. If desired, sprinkle immediately with extra peanut butter morsels and sprinkles. Allow chocolate to set, about 15 minutes.

These look dangerous. Thankfully I like flirting with dangerous things rhyming with Shmocolate Meanut Futter Ronuts.

I know some folks who would enjoy these :)

Can I ask a question — how do you get the “if you enjoyed this recipe you may also enjoy…” links on your posts? Do you manually do that?
