Instructions
Banana Donuts
Heat the oven to 350F. Liberally butter (or baking spray) two - standard (6 wells) baking pans. You will be using 8-9 wells total.
Pour the melted butter in a large bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar until smooth.
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, ½ cup brown sugar
Stir in the mashed bananas, the egg and the vanilla extract.
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium bananas), 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sprinkle the surface of the batter evenly with the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk until the ingredients are fully dispersed in the batter.
1 cup all purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Pipe or spoon the batter into each donut well, filling about ⅔ full.
Bake the donuts for 9-11, until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
Leave to cool on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes before removing them from the pan to cool completely.
Chocolate Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate, butter, cream and salt.
⅓ cup bittersweet or semi sweet chocolate, chopped or chips, 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream, pinch of salt
Melt in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, until the glaze is smooth, glossy and fully melted.
Dip the donuts into the glaze, twisting as you remove the donut, to allow the excess glaze to drip back in the bowl.
