If this is your first time visiting Jar Of Lemons, welcome! My name’s Christine and HI I’m a health food blogger with a serious and somewhat hypocritical donut addition. Glad you’re here! No but seriously, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Blender Donuts! You’d never even guess that they’re healthy. 😉
To start things off, I want to hear from my fellow donut addicts out there. Are you out there? Please say hi! I can’t even when it comes to donuts. My sweet grandpa (also known as Abuelito) introduced me to donuts when I was around the age of 5. I distinctly remember sitting at the dining room table taste testing them and washing them down with Dr. Pepper (which we were also taste testing). Soon after, my addiction grew into an uncontrollable problem! You think I’m kidding, but I could easily eat an entire box in one sitting.
Sadly not sadly, I still reeeaaaallllyyy love donuts. But I started this whole healthy living thing a few years ago and decided I should replace them with something a little less fried! And sugary, and all of those things.
OH, and YES! These donuts can be made entirely in a blender! The. easiest. ever. Ok, well you DO need a donut pan. But other than that, just a blender!
I can’t decide if these Peanut Butter Chocolate Blender Donuts are breakfast or dessert!
Think sweet, melt-in-your-mouth, warm, chocolatey disastrous donut heaven. I’m not even mad about it! They’re actually a variation of the Blueberry Bread recipe, with peanut butter replacing the almond butter and (cough cough) chocolate chips (cough cough) replacing the blueberries. Ok but I don’t even feel bad because these chocolate chips are deliciously healthy! Also, you will need some sort of donut baking pan for these.
If you’re having an extreme chocolate craving (like I was when I made these), you can add a little bit of Tahini-Chocolate (from the Tahini-Chocolate Dipped Watermelon Wedges) on top as an optional icing! However, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Blender Donuts do have chocolate chips in them as well. 😉 It’s all about how strong your chocolate hankering is! Let’s get to baking, friends!

Christine,
On this blender donut recipe and others I’ve viewed, I see calories but not a complete list of nutritional facts. I am a Weight Watcher and find the complete nutritional information very helpful. Under your recipe information it was noted that you provide this information. Am I missing them, where can I find them? Happy to have found your blog, Janeen
Hi, Janeen! Thanks for your comment, I will try to start incorporating macros into recipes from now on. My recipe plugin doesn’t allow for anything other than calories, so there isn’t a nutritional breakdown for this recipe. So sorry about that, I will definitely do my best to include them in the future! In the meantime, enjoy the recipe 🙂
These look delicious! How long do they keep for? Thinking about making them for a get together but would have to make them a day or 2 beforehand.
Oh my God! Get in my belly now!!! Anything with peanut butter is the best thing ever! I could eat PB all day!
Haha! They were pretty delicious. I’m the same way!
Oh my, these look so delicious – I want to go make them right now!!
Thanks, Kathryn! They were amazing! 🙂
OMG! I think my diet is gonna end because of this. I love it!
Hurrah for donuts! And PB! I love that you can whip these up in a blender. They look amazing Christine – thanks for sharing the recipe.x
I have to stop coming to your blog because every time I’m here I see something I want to eat, I get a similar version, and then there goes my diet. So with that, I love this post but I’m on my way to get donuts. Also, I love your story about your abuelito and dr. pepper. Too cute!!

Oh my goodness – my bf would love if I made these for him! Chocolate and PB is his fav and we were just talking about trying to make donuts soon!
I think these should be both breakfast AND dessert! Brilliant use of the blender – they look delicious! I need to bust out my blender as well! 🙂
These look absolutely delicious!
