Baked Butterfinger Donuts

Chocolatey and peanut buttery these Baked Butterfinger Donuts are a family favorite. Whips up in under 20 minutes and makes the perfect breakfast!

Happy Memorial Day all! What better way to start the day than some delicious homemade donuts? I’m highly addicted to sweets and anytime I can have sugar for breakfast then I’m sold. I do have to admit though, I’m not entirely a breakfast person. Yes I know they say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I’m sorry I’m just not a breakfast person!

Have you ever been to one of those bakeries that sell all these off the wall donuts? I haven’t. We really don’t have a larger bakery with those options around me. The closest one is about 45 miles away and boy I have to admit, I’m in love. Usually they don’t have donut versions of their amazing flavors but they do have some awesome cupcake flavors. Alas, I am here to fill the void of what I so lovingly seek.

These donuts are seriously super simple to make. If you do not have a donut pan you can take a muffin tin and roll up some tin foil and place them in there as well. Now the donuts will be smaller but it will still work, just means the more there is for you to enjoy! This recipe makes about 6 donuts depending on how much you fill each well.
