Instructions
Creating Banana Bread Donuts is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing your donut pan with cooking spray or oil.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using).
3. Combine Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar, mixing well.
4. Add Bananas and Wet Ingredients: Stir in the mashed bananas to the sugar mixture. Then add the eggs, yogurt (or sour cream), vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
6. Fill the Donut Pan: Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off, fill each well of the donut pan about halfway full with the batter.
7. Bake: Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Optional Glazing: If desired, prepare a simple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk (1 cup powdered sugar to 2 tablespoons milk). Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze for a sweet finish.
These straightforward steps will help you create delightfully soft and flavorful Banana Bread Donuts, perfect for any occasion!
