Lightened-Up Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts

It’s no hush-hush that my love runs DEEP for the chocolate peanut butter combo. Food ever makes me happy no thing what, merely there is actually something absolutely magical near chocolate too peanut butter together. I oftentimes dip my spoon inward peanut butter jars too sprinkle it alongside nighttime chocolate chips, or fifty-fifty better even so, smear peanut butter on a foursquare of my favorite 85% chocolate bar from Trader Joe’second.

These are SO insanely skillful. They experience absolutely SINFUL, merely they’re really somewhat healthy. Healthy to the betoken that they’re totally acceptable for breakfast. They’re made alongside whole wheat flour, in addition to in that location’sec solely one/iv cup of sugar in the whole batch of donuts..crazy huh?! They audio similar your weekend plans… 🙂

I’one thousand unremarkably a fried donut girl. I intend that typically null compares to the taste of a yeasted, fried donut. These, though, gave the yeasted donut a serious go for their coin. They’re then moist and total of rich chocolate flavor, not as well sugariness, and accept the perfect total of creamy peanut butter glaze.

I too topped them alongside my favorite mini nighttime chocolate peanut butter cups, because texture is ever a must. And extra chocolatey + pb season of course!

And then I drizzled them with more peanut butter on pinnacle, because why not?


I dearest baking alongside whole wheat pastry flour because it has such a wonderful, fine texture that is not gritty at all like regular whole wheat flour. These donuts are serious clouds because of it.

I accept been baking a ton amongst option flours like almond flour, coconut flour, together with chickpea flour recently, and I forgot how much I LOVE Whole wheat pastry flour. Definitely going to get stock up on it over again!
