Baked Banana and Chocolate Donuts

Happy Saturday Everyone!

I can’t believe that Christmas is only few days away! I am not ready yet. Are-you?  The shopping is not completed, I am still cooking and baking.

While Christmas shopping, I went to my favorite Cookware  Store and found this adorable mini doughnut pan.Every time that I buy a new gadget for the kitchen, I am like a little kid and cannot wait to open the package and try it.

While researching the internet for a baked doughnut recipe, I found quite a few that I like and adapted them to my taste. Sally’s Baking Addiction’s blog  has a wonderful recipe for banana doughnuts.

Baking donuts is much easier than I expected and it’s a much healthier solution that frying doughnuts.The donut  recipes are endless and not complicated at all.

These Baked Banana Doughnuts are moist, tender and delightful. They taste like a banana bread. They make a great presentation and a fun project to do with the kids.

Author: Citron Limette

Recipe type: Sweets

Serves: 9 donuts

Ingredients

• ¼ cup cane sugar
• 3 Tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 egg
• ½ cup mashed ripe banana (1 very small banana)
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon Plain Greek Yogurt
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
• Dark Chocolate Glaze
• ¼ cup chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pan with cooking spray. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg with the sugar until light and pale in color. Stir in the banana, oil, vanilla and yogurt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Slowly pour dry mixture into wet mixture. Stir together until just combined (do not overmix).
3. Using a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off, pipe the batter carefully into prepared donut pan making sure each cavity is only ⅔ full. You can also use a spoon to spread the batter into the donut pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes (donuts should be fluffy and should spring back when touched Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan, about 5 minutes.
4. While the donuts are baking or cooling, melt the chocolate chips, maple syrup, butter, and milk together in a small bowl in the microwave (about 30 seconds). When the donuts have cooled for 5 minutes, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze. Allow to cool on a cooling rack.
