Peanut Butter Mini Donuts With Marshmallow Icing

Just the peanut butter donuts would have been fine. I would have been happy with tiny little nuggets of baked peanut butter goodness. All would have been right in my little world out here on the property.

But then I added marshmallow icing. I know - I'm sorry.

More drizzled peanut butter on top isn't the problem. Peanut butter on top of peanut butter is fine. It's the marshmallow icing that I want to swim in. It doesn't help that they're bite-sized, so you can't eat just one.

There, I've said it. You know my secret and the recipe is yours to do with as you wish. I know - I'm sorry.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
Donuts:
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
4 Tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/3 cup vanilla almond milk
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Icing:
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 cup marshmallow creme
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla almond milk

Drizzle:
1/4 cup peanut butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini donut pan with nonstick spray.

2. In a stand mixer on medium, combine peanut butter, yogurt and brown sugar until creamy. Slowly add in the milk, egg and vanilla and mix on medium speed until creamy again.

3. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until a fairly thick dough forms.

4. Fill each of the tiny donut cavities about halfway. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 1/2 minutes.

5. Remove immediately from the oven and let the pan sit on a cooling rack for 1-2 minutes. Then remove them from the pan and let them cool completely.

6. For the icing, thoroughly combine the butter, creme, sugar and milk until it is slightly runny but will hold its shape for the most part. Dip the tops of the donuts in the icing and return to the cooling rack. If it's the right consistency, it will fill itself in to the edges, becoming smooth and shiny.

7. Once the donuts and icing are cooled again, heat the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until melted. Use a spoon to drizzle it over the donuts.

Holland Creme - That Amazing White Stuff In Donuts

Image
I remember going to the grocery store every Saturday morning when I was growing up, and my favorite place in the entire store was the donut case. All the glazed, powdered and filled baked goods drew me like a magnet. My favorites, far and away, were the ones filled with that beautiful white, fluffy creme. At the time I didn't know it was called Holland Creme - I just knew it was the most amazing concoction ever. Ever. Here is my version of this sweet treat. You can make your own fried donuts and fill them, or like I did here, you can cut a crevice into store-bought donuts with a knife and fill them with creme in a piping bag. Either way, you're going to love it. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 cup vegetable oil 1 cup shortening 1 cup butter 1 Tbsp vanilla 7 cups powdered sugar 1. Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a sauce pan over medium heat until boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool complet...

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee...

Crafts For Teen Girls To Make

Image
In our teen girls Bible study, we're studying our way through the Proverbs 31 woman and it's been such a blessing to me, as I hope it's been to them. Every month we spend an afternoon or an evening together studying Scripture, making something amazing in the kitchen and creating something that corresponds to the verse we're in. Choosing the crafts each time can be a challenge for several reasons. It needs to be something they can completely finish (or do most of) because once they leave they're probably not going to work on it themselves - that's just the nature of teenagers. Remember? It also needs to be a project that keeps they're attention, is age-appropriate and is cool enough that they'll want to keep it or give it to someone special. But hey, no pressure on the Bible study leader, right? Here are just a few of the projects we've done together in the year we've been meeting. * This month's craft will be the adorable cross stit...
