Recipe Of The Month- Banana Doughnuts

Banana Doughnuts
 

We all love a little treat and my treat of

the month would have to be these doughnuts.

I mean just looked at them. So here is the recipe.    

 

 

Ingredients

-1 cup flour

-1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar

-1 teaspoon baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

-1/2 teaspoon salt

-1/4 cup buttermilk (*if you don’t have buttermilk, use milk + 1 teaspoon white vinegar)

-1 ripe banana, mashed

-1 egg, beaten

-1 teaspoon vanilla extract

-1/2 tablespoon of melted butterFor the brown butter glaze:
-4 tablespoons butter
-1 cup powdered sugar
-2 tablespoons milk or cream
-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions 

1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Lightly grease a doughnut pan (I actually used a mini-Bundt pan, filling the cavities only 1/3 of the way with batter).
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add the buttermilk, mashed banana, beaten egg, vanilla, and butter. Mix until all ingredients are just combined.
3. Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Each indention should be about half full.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes until baked through. Doughnuts should spring back when lightly pushed.
5. To make your glaze, heat butter over low heat until it turns golden brown- about 6-8 minutes. You will see solids separate from fat as the liquid begins to brown. Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Transfer to a shallow plate or bowl so that it cools.
6. Dunk cooled donuts into the warm glaze, and place on parchment paper until set.

Enjoy!!
