Peanut Butter and Jelly Donuts

Peanut butter and jelly donuts gives breakfast your favorite flavor.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Donuts bring back your favorite sandwich flavor.

Last winter I visited New York for the first time in a very long time. Just about 16 years, actually, which is an eternity when you start to consider all the places to eat that have come and gone and come in that time. And since my previous NYC food experience was limited to Sbarro and cheesecake at Roxy, I was determined to eat all the things.

My friend Amber and I didn’t quite eat all the things, but we did a remarkable job, having some sort of food approximately every 45 minutes (at least it felt like that). Considering we limited ourselves to Manhattan and didn’t get further up than Levain Bakery, I think we did pretty well for ourselves.

One of my favorite places was Doughnut Plant. Cake donuts are my favorite, and I appreciate a place that does them justice. Of course, their signature yeast donuts are excellent as well, and these baked peanut butter and jelly donuts are my humble riff on their classic PB&J filled yeast donut.

When I grew up and realized that peanut butter and jelly could be made with more than grape jelly, the flavor combo took on a whole new meaning to me. I suddenly understood what everyone else was going crazy for! I’ve incorporated the idea in recipes before, like in my peanut butter and jelly waffles, but I have been itching to make some donuts ever since we got back from New York.

Now, I know some of you don’t consider baked donuts as real donuts, and that’s OK. You can call these muffins if it makes you feel better. But either way, these peanut butter and jelly donuts are pretty awesome. A peanut butter donut is covered in blackberry glaze and topped with peanuts. Sorry, nut-allergy friends.

My older son, who dubs himself First Taste Tester, polished off 3/4 of one before I could even ask how it tasted. My younger son took a big bite and declared, “This is GOOD!” in the way only a 2-year-old can. And my husband snuck one before and after dinner. I’m calling it a winning recipe.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Donuts are a sweet treat to start your morning.

To make these donuts easier, I used a seedless blackberry jam in the glaze. If you prefer to use whole blackberries to achieve a vibrant color, crush 1/2 cup of blackberries with 1 tablespoon sugar, let sit while the donuts bake, then strain the juice. You can then mix the juice into the powdered sugar for your glaze, using as much or as little as you like for your preferred consistency.

These peanut butter and jelly donuts are ready in about 30 minutes, so they’re perfect for a relaxing weekend breakfast!
