Peanut Butter Donuts With Vanilla Frosting
There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t wish I had a donut. Are you that way too?
I have a bit of a sweet tooth that I’ve always battled, basically my eyes tell me to eat all sugar treats in front of me. Most recently I broke open a bag of Halloween Oreos that I have been saving. Do you want to know what is the most depressing thing about these delicious cookies? They’re 100 calories, a cookie. My heart breaks just thinking about that. These cookies are so good I’d like to eat 6, not 1. And then there’s my middle of the night chocolate kisses I have been eating. I found a bag of kisses in the back of my cabinet and suddenly I feel like I need to eat multiple ones when I wake up during the night. Do you hear someone opening a plastic bag at 4AM in the morning? Don’t worry, it’s just me, standing in the dark, eating kisses, while cats circle me because they think it’s time to play. Then with chocolate melting in my mouth, I make my way back to bed. Horrible, aren’t I? Do you have a sweet right now that you are misbehaving with?
What else do I love? These peanut butter donuts with vanilla frosting. I had it in my head I wanted to start baking more with peanut butter so these sweets were made. I’m so happy I made this choice, the peanut butter is a great addition and it sure makes a filling donut. These would be pretty perfect for breakfast too. Start out your day with a donut, talk about a reason to wake up in the morning!

Recipe Notes
Makes 6 donuts.
mmmmm the fact that these donuts have chocolate peanut butter in them makes them SO. FRIGGIN. AMAZING! and that vanilla frosting? heaven!
Yes, I agree! Especially if they are baked, I love baked donuts. And the sprinkles make me happy 🙂
Yum yum! Such pretty photos, Pamela! I’m naughtiest with chocolate. If I know it’s there, I can honestly eat the whole bar in a shamefully short period of time! 😉
Peanut butter and vanilla is such a delicious combination, I can practically taste these!
I’m just going to have to move in with you, okay?
Only if you bring that shower curtain.
I’m with you! Every day should be donut day 🙂 We actually have a deal that Josh will ALWAYS go grocery shopping with me, or I will end up brining home at least 1 dozen donuts from the bakery. It’s a fact of life. These look much better than what I can buy in my grocery store, plus sprinkles. Sprinkles for dayyyys.
Chocolate peanut butter? I need to seek this out. My kiddos are loving baked doughnuts. I will have to add these to the rotation.
I totally agree. I could have a donut pretty much every day. Yours look so delicious!!
I wonder if we get chocolate peanut butter here?
Check it out Tandy, seems like a couple of the big brands are making it now.
I love that last shot where the donuts are gone. That’s exactly what would happen in my house if I made these lovelies! Gorgeous!
You know, I like donuts but can kind of take then or leave them! Which I guess is a good thing?? haha But a peanut butter donut – now that may be a different story!! These sound awesome!
I like donuts, but my real weakness is peanut butter. Oh, and then sprinkles. Way too combine all my weaknesses into one recipe, Pamela!
What font do you use on your photos? I really like it!
This one is called “Call Me”. Thanks Mary Frances!
These look SOOO good !
They are loaded with the good thing! And cute too! 🙂 ela
These cakey donuts look fantastic!
I’ve never made doughnuts before!! I don’t know why but in my head I think that they are complicated…breads kinda scare me. Haha but…i’m kinda obsessed with PB. Who isn’t?? And never had it in a doughnut. I do live in Minnesota, and doughnuts aren’t super popular here. Pinning this one, going to have to try it real soon. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful St. Pattys Day 🙂
My sweet tooth is pretty insane too. So I hear you on the midnight chocolate kiss snacking!
“My eyes tell me to eat all sugar treats in front of me” we must be the same person!!!
My eyes so do the same!!! 🙂
I have yet to buy a donut pan – and recipes like these are making me break my budget…peanut butter is a fav of mine – in donuts with vanilla frosting – gosh-I would be up at 4am polishing off the crumbs!
I love doughnuts! In fact, I have a shirt that says “Doughnuts make people happy”…because they do! These PB ones look fantastic!
I love that shirt! I totally agree!
I have quite a sweet tooth and work hard at only indulging once a day. These look wonderful!
Haha yup totally think about donuts way too much especially if they have lots of pretty and colorful sprinkles like these 🙂 Oh man, I am drooling over these chocolate peanut butter donuts – they look incredible!
I had no idea that oreos have 100 calories a cookie. Yikes! I could eat donuts every day, but I have never, ever tried making them. These look like a delicious donut to start with 🙂
All I can say is ‘delicious looking.’
Hey, peanut butter is a source of protein so these are practically health food! They look fantastic, too 🙂
They are oven baked! That’s great… I like these donuts at the first sight because I could notice they are not greasy and deep fried. It’s a treat I can “afford”.
Ah, great are the mornings that start with a donut 🙂 I have quite a sweet tooth too, but these days if I indulge in it too much, I add an extra half a mile to the morning run!
These look divine…peanut butter is the key to my heart, I’ve just decided. Haha! And 100 calories a cookie is the meanest thing I have ever heard- there is NO WAY anyone can eat just one Halloween Oreo- rude!!!
Ok, I REALLY need to get me one of those donut pans! I have such donut envy lately with all my blogger friends that are pumping out these amazing looking donuts, haha! This looks amazing!
Oh wow that´s all I´m saying.. Peanut butter & Vanilla in a donut with loads of sprinkles on top.. amazingggggggggg 🙂
Did you say Peanut Butter? And donuts? Hope there are some of these left, because I’m hopping on a plane right now!
These are so festive! Not to mention ridiculously tempting with the chocolate peanut butter flavor.
Holy crap woman! These look SO GOOD!!!! I love that they are gluten free and look very easy to vegan-ize.
“Do you have a sweet right now that you are misbehaving with?”
Sadly… yes. There are these evil Justin’s PB cups that I have a not so slight addiction to.
I’ve heard about these cups and am worried about trying them in fear of becoming obsessed!
