Peanut Butter Banana Protein Donuts

*Spread* the news! I’m going *nuts* over this new peanut butter banana protein donut recipe!

If you love peanut butter and never say no to bananas, then you’re in for a real good treat. Fun fact – I actually hate bananas, but like them only in baking and smoothies – weird, right?

If you liked the other protein donut recipes I shared a while back, you’re going to love these. All of those recipes were a little fancier, a little indulgent, so for this recipe I played around with flavors that are simple but work oh so well:

Peanut Butter and Bananas.

It’s a classic combination that never gets old! Great by themselves, but butter together. Puns aside, trust me, they are amazing together in this easy baked donut recipe.

I love using peanut butter for all sorts of savory and sweet recipes because

They’re creamy- great for texture
They’re nutty- great for flavor
They’re quite filling- always a good thing!
Peanut butter is incredibly easy to find and get your hands on

And 5… peanut butter is full of protein! Perfect for a good protein donut. Combine that with bananas, a great source of fiber and important vitamins and minerals, and you’re all set!

If it isn’t obvious already, protein donuts are some of my all-time favorite desserts. What I love about protein donuts is that they have all the fun and deliciousness of a donut, except they’re much much healthier. They have less sugar, are high in protein, and are gluten-free.

You can eat them for breakfast too! Sweet treats in the morning that won’t make me sugar dive? Yes, please. Expect to be properly full until lunch. Or maybe until after? How many donuts are you planning on eating by yourself?

Whether you’re eating these protein donuts for breakfast or as a snack, they’re a great sneaky way to satisfy your sweet tooth and get all of the good nutrients you need all at the same time. Total win-win.

These healthy and filling Peanut Butter Banana Protein Donuts are fun to make and even more fun to eat! Make them with me!
