  • 1 cup overripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 tbsp milk room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure

Condensed Milk Frosting

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream chilled in freezer 30 minutes

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

Banana Donuts

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pan with nonstick coating and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and spices.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk mashed bananas, eggs, butter, milk and vanilla until combined.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Take care to avoid overmixing.
  • Pipe batter into donut pan, filling cavities 3/4 of the way.
  • Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until tops spring back when pressed with a fingertip.
  • Cool donuts in pan for 3 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before topping with frosting.
  • Clean donut pan, coat with nonstick spray then repeat the baking process with remaining batter.

Condensed Milk Frosting

  • Beat chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until medium peaks form, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add chilled condensed milk and vanilla then continue beating until incorporated.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Assembly

  • Dip the top of each donut into frosting then swirl until evenly coated.
  • If desired, top frosting with a dusting of cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips.
  • Donuts taste best the day they are made but can be covered and stored up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
