Baked Banana Bread Doughnuts with Milk Chocolate Glaze
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I bring you the perfect breakfast/snack to treat Mom – Banana Bread Doughnuts with Milk Chocolate Glaze. What could be better than chocolate for breakfast? These doughnuts are also BAKED, not fried – bonus!
These doughnuts are super moist from the banana, buttermilk, and vegetable oil used in this recipe. Using vegetable oil instead of butter means no creaming method required, and no mixer required; making these doughnuts so quick and easy to throw together. Simply mix together the dry ingredients in one bowl, and mix together the wet ingredients in another. Combine the dry ingredients and wet ingredients together, and spoon the batter into a doughnut pan. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, allow to cool, then dip each doughnut into the milk chocolate glaze.
For the milk chocolate glaze, simply heat up the heavy cream until very hot. Pour over the milk chocolate chips, and leave for about 5 minutes. Stir together until smooth and combined, then whisk in the vanilla extract. Deliciously smooth and silky milk chocolate glaze ready to top each doughnut!
This recipe makes about 12 doughnuts, meaning you can help Mom eat them all…if she will let you. These doughnuts taste best on the day they are made, but you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also freeze unglazed doughnuts for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then top them with glaze.
