PBJ Mini Donuts

A delicious take on the traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich are these PBJ Mini Donuts. Theyre the ideal sweet treat or entertaining snack, and theres nothing quite like peanut butter and grape jelly together.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup grape jelly
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• Vegetable oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt

In a separate bowl, combine milk, peanut butter, jelly, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter

Mix until well blended

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot to 350F 175C

Using a mini donut pan or a small spoon, carefully drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil

Fry until they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch

Remove the donuts with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil

If desired, dust the PBJ mini donuts with powdered sugar while they are still warm

Serve the PBJ mini donuts immediately and enjoy
