These Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Baked Buttermilk Donuts are so cute! Homemade Reese’s doughnuts are topped with chocolate ganache and more Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Baked Buttermilk Donuts
A couple Sundays ago I has so much fun experimenting in the kitchen. I am still obsessed with my Donut pan by Wilton so I knew I wanted to make another fun baked donut 🙂
I had oodles of Halloween candy around which only meant one thing…..Reeses Peanut Butter Cup! One of my favorite candy bars ever!
How to Make Homemade Reese’s Donuts
This recipe is very similar to my Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream Donuts minus the pumpkin. I added smashed peanut butter cups right into the batter! Yum!
Reeses inside the donuts and on top 🙂
For the filling, mash up 3 fun size Reeeses Peanut Butter Cups.
This fabulous bowl of cups will go into your donut batter.
The consistency is soft, cakey and Reeses Peanut Butter Cup delicious!
Instead of the glaze on my Pumpkin Ice Cream Donuts, I went with a chocolate ganache. Simple.
Once your chips are melted add some heavy cream, stirring until melted and shiny.
Time to dip and top with more chopped peanut butter cups.

Where in the recipe do we add the powdered sugar? I see it in the list of ingredients but I don’t see where it’s included…
What a good way to use up halloween candy! Did you find them really rich with the grenache topping? or is it possible to take down a couple in one sitting…not that I’d be likely to do that or anything… haha
These look amazing!!
Where does the powedered sugar go? I see it in the list of ingredients but not where it’s included…

Sara D.- the recipe is called Resses PB Cup BAKED donuts- so I don’t think it is misleading if you understand she is not saying it will taste like A FRIED donut
