If you go Ga Ga (not the lady singer) for Peanut Butter….you’ll love these Peanut Butter Maple Doughnuts…..sticky, gooey and scrumptious…we’ve got one left from yesterday’s batch and i had to hide it for my mom! ~to be honest, i only had a bite here and there from my wonderfully sharing (i think selfish) family members….Jerime’s exact words last night…”oh, you got your doughnut pan!” PRE-BITE ….”OH MY GOSH, HONEY, YOU MADE THESE ALL BY YOURSELF?” POST BITE! score one for me!
INGREDIENTS: (4/14 i used this recipe from A Better Batter for Doughnuts and we loved it) but the one below is great too! choices choices
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup sugar
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt
2 Tbsp soft butter (i used country crock…straight outta the tub)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tablespoon maple syrup (maybe a little more…sorry just squirted)
1 egg
Directions:
preheat oven to 350…add flour, baking powder and baking soda in bowl, stir in sugar, cinnamon and salt….throw in butter and using your fork, mash up the butter to blend….make a well, add milk, yogurts, vanilla, syrup and egg..mix but don’t overmix (i love when recipes say that!!! like really, how much is too much…use your best judgement..and if you don’t have good judgement…then i guess, all i can say to you is GOOD LUCK)
then you can transfer batter to ziplock bag and cut off corner and fill up your doughnut pan….i was verging on impatience so i did it the hard way and just slowly poured from the bowl…my aim was pretty impecable *PRIDE*
bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown…
makes 12 doughnuts
Maple Peanut Butter Glaze:
in a small bowl combine 2/3 cup powdered sugar and about 2 T of maple syrup, 1 heaping T of peanut butter and water for desired consistency
In my opinion, the batter of these doughnuts had a better flavor than the ones yesterday….my family loved them both!
wow…i want a doughnut pan! those look so good!
