PB & J Donuts

My kitchen is full of random accessories and appliances – I guess that’s a perk of being a Food Engineer and recipe developer! I love experimenting with different flavor combinations, and when it’s shaped like a donut, it’s gotta be good, right?! Well, this time I tried to recreate one of the most nostalgic flavor combos… PB & J. I still love it just as much as I did when I was little. These PB & J donuts are great for breakfast meal-prep, weekend brunch, or a midday snack.

 

Here’s what you’ll need…

Donut base

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup tapioca starch

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 cup peanut butter of choice

1 egg

 

Jelly Base

2 cup strawberries

1 Tbs chia seeds

2 Tbs maple syrup

1 tsp stevia

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Combine donut base until smooth batter forms
  3. Pour into a greased donut pan – you can also use a muffin tin
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes
  5. For the jelly base, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat
  6. Simmer and allow this to reduce for about 5-7 minutes, or until chia seeds expands, and the mixture thickens slightly
  7. Frost your donuts, and enjoy!
