Description

These Fluffernutter Baked Donuts are a delightful twist on the classic peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich treat. Soft, moist donuts are flavored with creamy peanut butter and topped with a fluffy marshmallow creme frosting, finished with a drizzle of melted peanut butter for an irresistible sweet and nutty flavor combination.

Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Frosting

  • 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup marshmallow creme
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Drizzling

  • Extra peanut butter, melted (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 6-cavity donut pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy donut removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Egg and Milk: Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed, indicating they are cooked through.
  7. Cool Donuts: Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing to ensure they hold their shape.
  8. Prepare Frosting: Beat together the softened butter, marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, milk, and salt until smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy frosting.
  9. Frost Donuts: Carefully spread the marshmallow frosting evenly over the tops of the cooled donuts using a knife or spatula.
  10. Melt Peanut Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the extra peanut butter on low heat for about 30 seconds or until smooth and pourable.
  11. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the melted peanut butter over the frosted donuts in a decorative pattern. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Allow donuts to cool fully before frosting to prevent melting the frosting.
  • You can substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
  • Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner cut off to fill the donut pan neatly.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat the donuts gently in the microwave for a soft texture before serving.
