Can’t stomach sweets in the morning? You may miss out on pancakes and hand pies, but a sugar high isn’t how you want to start the day. Besides, you’d rather get your buzz from cold-brewed black coffee. Good for you, but your cup still needs a companion – one you can really sink your teeth into. And if you think donuts aren’t the answer, you haven’t had a bite of peanut butter glazed donuts. The typical sweetness of a donut is overcome by layers of savory peanut butter that shows up in the batter and in the glaze. Home-baked in mini-size portions, your stomach will be happy to handle a handful.
