Chocolate Chunk Baked Donuts
with Peanut Glaze
Happy Halloween!
Ok, these little bites of goodness are just that. GOODNESS! And with this being Halloween week, I just couldn’t resist decorating them with themed sprinkles.
Peanut Butter + Chocolate are a great combination…and in donuts even better. The chocolate donut is tender, perfectly filled with cacao and extra chocolate chunks. Sugar, apple sauce and coconut oil are a great mix in gluten free donuts.
The glaze is easily made with 3 ingredients – mix and dunk or pour over. So good.
Using 100% cacao really makes the difference. It’s the real deal, with huge depth of flavor and richness.
What type of unsweetened chocolate do you use?
Just look at the tender cakey donut and all that drippy glaze.
I can’t get enough of this simple glaze – all that peanut butter flavor. Give me more.
Let's talk Peanut Powder.
Here is the kind that I used.
It is sugar free – which is great, because you are mixing it with powdered sugar, so you don’t need anymore sugar.
You can easily mix it into smoothies, add to your oatmeal and yes into baked goods. It really takes amazing – after all it has lots of roasted peanuts inside.
Plus this one has probiotics in it. Added bonus.
Have you tried powdered peanuts?
