Homemade Vegan Peanut Butter & Jam Donuts

One of my favourite toast combination is peanut butter and jam. I always look forward to a good peanut butter and jam on toast for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack. This weekend I woke up craving donuts. So, I decided to make some peanut butter and jam donuts.

Unlike store bought donuts, they are not made with butter, sugar and white flour! Instead I made them with rolled oats for complex carbohydrates to keep me fuller for longer, bananas for sweetness, almond meal for some good fat & peanut butter for a complete source of protein. I have also added some peanut butter and jam as a surprise filling which takes these donuts to the next level. These donuts are also vegan and gluten free, so most of us can enjoy them. I love how moist these donuts turned out. Oh, if you don’t have a donut tray, don’t worry, just use a muffin tray, they turn out beautifully too 😊

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I have. As always, please let me know what you think of this recipe.

Ingredients

For the donuts

• 2 ripe bananas;
• 1 1/4 cup rolled oats;
• 1/2 cup almond meal;
• 1/2 cup milk (I used cashew milk but any would work);
• 2 tbsp walnut oil (you can also use coconut or vegetable oil);
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or sweetener of your choice);
• 2 tbsp peanut butter;
• 1 tsp baking powder; and
• 1 tsp vanilla essence.

For the filling

• Your favourite peanut butter; and
• Your favourite jam (I used my homemade maple blueberry chia jam).

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and grease a donut/muffin tray;
2. Place all the donut ingredients in a blender and blend until well combined. The mixture should be in a batter consistency;
3. Fill each donut/muffin hole with donut batter until half full;
4. Put 1/2-1 tsp of peanut butter & jam each in each donut/muffin hole;
5. Top each muffin/donut hole with the remaining donut batter;
6. Place the tray in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when you insert into donut/muffin;
7. Allow to cool and enjoy 😊
8. Stores in fridge for up to a week 😁

Happy baking,
