Peach Ale Peaches and Cream Donuts

Mondays should always start with beer and donuts.

And glaze.  Lots and lots of glaze.

Peach Ale Peaches and Cream Donuts

It’s peach season after all, so shouldn’t we be living it up?  We’re putting peaches in everything over here. I know you probably have an expectation of ice cream or popsicles in just about every post coming your way because that’s just the way I roll.  And it’s summer and it’s dang hot, but we need some variety up in here, don’t we?  So I bring you beer, and peaches, and donuts, (I gave up on the proper spelling because I’m a SEO ho), so Peach Ale Peaches and Cream Donuts are the star of this show!

You can go wrong with that, right?  Beer makes everything better.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Sorry, y’all!  I was so distracted by peach beer and donuts, I forgot to ask how your weekend was and what in tarnation you have been up to?  We had a week of relaxation of the stay-cation then sadly, we had to return to real life.  Fortunately, we followed that work week up with a weekend filled with fun and some down time.  And now it’s Monday again.  I vote that we switch things around and the work week is 2 days and the weekend is 5!  Who’s with me?

Peach Ale Peaches and Cream Donuts

If only I ruled the world.  Things would totally be different.

Peach Ale Peaches and Cream Donuts

Have a fantastic week, friends!  I hope your week is filled with beer, donuts, peaches, and all things delicious and fun!

Peach Ale Peaches and Cream Donuts

Ingredients

For the Donuts

  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 large egg room temperature and lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup peach ale
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 2 - 3 peaches peeled and very small diced

For the Glaze

  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 - 4 teaspoons vanilla bean paste according to taste
  • 1/2 cup whole milk - start with 1/4 cup then add 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency - this can be halved because I love a lot of glaze

Instructions

For the Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, butter, vanilla bean paste, peach ale
  4. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry, then stir in the cream cheese - cream cheese may be lumpy, but it's ok
  5. Coat donut pans with cooking spray
  6. Spoon batter into donut pans almost all the way full - evenly sprinkle in peach pieces into the batter in the pan - NOTE: I did it before and after adding the batter and it made no difference
  7. Bake 23 - 26 minutes
  8. Cool for 5 minutes or so on a wire rack then turn out on rack to cool completely

For the Glaze

  1. Add sugar to a bowl and stir in vanilla bean paste and 1/4 cup milk
  2. Continue adding milk 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached
  3. Pour over donuts

    If every week started with beer and donuts, I don’t think I would lead a very productive life 😉 I am loving the idea of peaches in donuts though.

    Ummmm, I am SO with you! 2 days of work and 5 day weekends FOR-EV-ER! 😉 Too bad nothing would ever get done.. and I can’t sit still or relax that long. But I’d still be game. LOVE these donuts, lady! You are right, Mondays should start with donuts and beer. AND LOTS OF GLAZE! These look crazy delicious, Rach! Peaches and cream is one of the best combos ever, but used in some donuts?! HECK YES! I’ll take 5 dozen. Cheers, lovely! xo

    Yes to Mondays starting with beer and donuts (and in that order!). I’m all for only working 2 days a week, or none at all. lol! Wishing I was independently wealthy so I could travel around the world, not working and drinking beer while eating peaches and cream donuts all day. #dreamingbig 🙂

    I am totally on board with the 5-day weekend! I’ve been saying we need 3-day weekends, but 5-day weekends sound way better. But if every Monday started out with donuts, beer and glaze, then the world would be a happier place! (I’m also laughing at your admission of being an SEO ho…classic!)

    If I could only have one food for the rest of my life it might be these. I love all the peachy goodness in these donuts. I seriously need to get a hold of some peach ale. And I could pretty much swim around in that glaze!

    You are seriously too funny, girl!! 5 day weekend? Um, yes please! That would be freakin’ fantastic. Glad you had a great staycation. Always a bummer when it ends, no matter how much time you’ve had, right? These donuts are amaze balls, Rachelle! I’ve never made donuts, but I needs to get me a pan and get on these donuts ASAP. Cream cheese plus peaches plus peach beer = trifecta of deliciousness. Pinned!
