Today is one of my FAVORITE days! It’s National Chocolate Peanut Butter Day, so let’s celebrate with some fabulous donuts!

Dark Chocolate Donuts with Peanut Butter Glaze from Lauren Kelly Nutrition #chocPBday

This is our second annual Chocolate Peanut Butter Day where I partner with some amazing food bloggers to share delicious recipes with you all! Carla from Chocolate Moosey and Miriam from Overtime Cook are hosting this delicious collection so please go visit them and share the love.  

We even have a Pinterest board dedicated to chocolate and peanut butter and I also have my favorite Pinterest board, Peanut Butter Love.  I bet you’re not surprised I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to peanut butter, right?

Ok, now let’s talk about these DONUTS!

Dark Chocolate Donuts with Peanut Butter Glaze from Lauren Kelly Nutrition #chocPBday

These donuts are baked, not fried and are lightly sweet. They are soft and fluffy and the peanut butter glaze is crazy delicious.

You can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter. It is my number 1 combination of flavors.

Most of you know how much I love these two together.  So now that I am on a baked donut kick, why not make some donuts with my favorite combination?  

This came out amazing!  They are moist, delicious and healthier than your typical fried donuts with tons of sugar.  

And the peanut butter glaze?  It’s just melted peanut butter!

No added sugars!

I KNOW!
