I love banana bread anything and could eat it every day and not tire of it. I have 40+ banana bread and banana recipes but no banana donuts. So I dusted off my donut pan and made some. Baked donuts are just like making muffins but you use a donut pan instead. It’s a fast and easy recipe that uses oil rather than butter so there’s nothing to cream and no mixer to dirty. The caramel glaze soaks into the donuts and donut holes and makes them even moister, softer, and more irresistible. Between the scent of warm banana bread and browned butter caramel, your house will smell like a bakery.
Ingredients Needed
To make the banana bread donuts, you’ll need:
Egg Light brown sugar Granulated sugar Canola oil Sour cream Vanilla extract Mashed bananas All-purpose flour Baking powder Baking soda Salt Unsalted butter Half and half Confectioners’ sugar
