๐ŸŒ Savor these moist, flavorful baked donuts made with ripe bananas for a naturally sweet treat that’s healthier than fried versions!
๐Ÿฅฏ Perfect for breakfast or snack, they feature a nutty brown butter icing that elevates the banana goodness without the guilt.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 donuts

Ingredients

– 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour

– ยฝ cup (107 grams) brown sugar, packed

– ยฝ teaspoon salt

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 2 overripe bananas, mashed

– 2 ยฝ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

– 1 large egg

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

– 1 cup (113 grams) powdered sugar

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– Milk or heavy cream, as needed

Instructions

1-First Step: Preheat oven to 350ยฐF. Spray donut mold with non-stick spray and set aside.

2-Second Step: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder.

3-Third Step: In a separate bowl, mix mashed bananas, melted butter, and egg.

4-Fourth Step: Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients gently until just combined. The batter will be thick, and that is normal.

5-Fifth Step: Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut molds until about ยพ full.

6-Sixth Step: Bake for 17 to 20 minutes or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.

7-Seventh Step: Let donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing and cooling completely.

8-First Step: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it foams and develops brown bits on the bottom, about 5 minutes.

9-Second Step: Remove from heat and cool slightly so the mixture does not seize.

10-Third Step: Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.

11-Fourth Step: Thin with milk or heavy cream if necessary, until the icing is easy to dip.

12-Final Step: Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the icing. Let set before serving.

Notes

๐ŸŒ Use overripe bananas with many brown spots for the best texture and natural sweetness.
๐Ÿ“ Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling with a knife to prevent dense donuts.
๐Ÿงˆ Brown butter adds a nutty flavor; make sure to cool it slightly before adding sugar.
