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

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.
