The best baked banana donuts I’ve ever had! Perfect blend of flavors and they are so easy to make and no frying needed.
As I’ve said before, I am a sucker for donuts and coffee. If I could I’d eat these every day but for the sake of moderation (and my waistline) I don’t. But I do make these wickedly good banana donuts quite often. And my family absolutely loves them.
Thanks to no frying, they are so easy. And that doesn’t take anything away from their flavor. The chocolate ganache frosting goes so unbelievably well with the banana you absolutely have to try it.
But the donut is an awesome base for all types of toppings. You can go with spice, sprinkles or a glaze. Honestly, these donuts are that good.
