Happy National Donut Day!!! While I don’t celebrate food holidays, you know I couldn’t miss this one!!

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Donuts (GF/Vegan Option) | Dancing for Donuts

I’d like to think of Donut Day as my personal holiday and the perfect excuse to whip up a fresh batch of baked donuts or treat myself to some from a local donut shop!! I’m currently visiting New York, so I’ll definitely be doing the latter today, and the baking will happen as soon as I return to my kitchen.

These double chocolate peanut butter donuts combine two of my absolute favorite flavors and use a base of almond and coconut flour to not only make them gluten free, but also protein packed and more satisfying! They can be made vegan by using a flax egg instead of a regular one, and dairy-free chocolate chips. For the “frosting,” I used powdered peanut butter and water, but peanut butter from the jar works perfectly, as well. Keep scrolling for the recipe, plus a few more of my favorite baked donuts at the bottom of this post!
