Got Pancake mix? Make these healthy Chunky Monkey Pancake Mix Donuts! They’re made with few ingredients, and full of banana, chocolate and peanut butter flavor! Also vegan + gluten-free options.
I don’t know the last time I made donuts for the blog, but ’twas a long time ago. In fact, I forgot I even had a donut pan. That phrase, “outta sight, outta mind” holds true even for things you value. Ha, but I’m glad I dusted the poor guy off and brought him back to life.
Today I’m sharing with you this easy but epic donut recipe that y’all will adore. I’ve been OBSESSED with pancake mix lately, and have been making everything besides pancakes with it.
I prefer making homemade blender pancakes instead of using the good ol’ mix, but I still put some good use into it.
Case in point: these donuts.
They’re super fluffay, puffy and taste like banana pancakes with pb and chocolate chips. They’re perfect for breakfast, snack anddddd dessert alike. Basically the best of both worlds 😉 Here is what ya need to make ’em:
pancake mix
non-dairy milk
banana
peanut butter
maple syrup
chocolate chips
pb glaze

So cool that pancake mix makes DELICIOUS donuts; I wish I could just live next door to you and watch you girls bake. 🙂 These are so appealing and delicious to the eyes; I’m sure they’re equally as delicious to the taste!!!
thank you Nicole!
thank you Emily, you’re too sweet! 🙂
Helllooooo heaven! These look amazing!!!
Thanks Kristy!
I have a dumb question: is there any other pancake recipe/mix I could use to make these (even if it’s your own recipe or another blogger’s)? I looked at the ingredients for both this kind of pancake mix and the gluten-free kind, and there are ingredients in both that react with my food sensitivities (particularly the wheat/dairy/sugar). But the donuts look so gorgeous, I wish I could try them. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
Hi Whitney,
Not a dumb question at all! How about trying a paleo pancake mix like this:https://goo.gl/nXq6LU ? Its free of all the sensitivities you listed and should work fine! Hope you’re able to make them! 🙂
Those look so appetizing that I can’t stop looking at them and drooling 😉
Love the idea of this recipe and will definitely be making some rendition of it for sure. I’ve already subscribe because of your other posts and seeing them on Instagram. I have a question though about your reference to Homemade blender pancakes you make and like more. I was wonder if you had a link or recipe for them by chance? Thank you so much in advance!
