# What You Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 1/2 cup milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
07 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Optional Glaze
12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
14 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a nonstick donut pan to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, milk, eggs, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
04 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to ensure a tender texture.
05 - Transfer batter to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a snipped corner. Pipe batter into prepared donut molds, filling each about three-quarters full.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until donuts are golden and spring back when lightly pressed.
07 - Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 - In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and let set before serving.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No frying mess—your house just smells incredible instead of smoky.
- The sweet banana flavor tastes like a hug in breakfast form.
02 -
- If you overmix the batter, the donuts turn out tough instead of cloud-soft—fold just until combined.
- Glazing when donuts are still warm will make the glaze melt straight off, so be patient and wait.
03 -
- A muffin scoop fills donut pans effortlessly and keeps your hands clean.
- Whisking the glaze longer gives a shimmery, bakery-style shine that looks gorgeous.
