Baked Chocolate Donuts with Peanut Butter Frosting

I am fully convinced that the only way to enjoy a chocolate donut is with peanut butter frosting.

It’s an obvious conclusion.

These chocolate donuts are perfectly balanced, lightly sweet, and decadent without being overly rich. The peanut butter frosting over the top makes them absolutely perfect all around.

It’s a challenge to eat just one, so consider this your warning.

This breakfast treat is so easy! It takes just a few minutes to put together and 10 minutes to bake. Overall, it will take you about 30 minutes to make the donuts.

First, you need to whip up the decadent chocolate donut batter. That requires mixing the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another then combining the two. Two bowls and a whisk. Those are the only tools necessary for this recipe.
I used buttermilk and melted butter for an extra rich and tender donut. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use sour cream or make your own buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to 3/4 cup of regular whole milk.



I turned to cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor. And naturally, chocolate isn’t complete without its partner in crime – peanut butter.
A thick creamy frosting made with peanut butter, butter, confectioners’ sugar, and heavy cream is slathered over the top of each donut. This is the ultimate flavor combination.
