Fluffernutter Baked Doughnuts

 

I love baking and that includes breakfast baked goods and dessert. It is really hard for me to relinquish the baking duties, but my youngest really likes to make baked doughnuts. I love that she likes baking doughnuts and does not want any help, but it is hard for me not to be in the kitchen.

These doughnuts turned out excellent and tasted amazing! My daughter did an awesome job! The combination of peanut butter and marshmallow is such a delicious one. Peanut butter doughnuts topped with a marshmallow frosting and peanut butter drizzle, what a delicious way to start the day.
