Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup applesauce
88g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1/3 cup whole-grain wheat flour
40g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1.50 tsp baking powder
8g
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1.95g
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
0.55g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
3 tbsp cream cheese
44g
2 tbsp sugar
24g
1 tbsp nonfat milk
16g
2 tbsp walnuts
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or prepare it with nonstick spray.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-grain wheat flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
4. Form the Batter:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
5. Fill the Donut Pan:
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the donuts comes out clean and they spring back when lightly pressed.
7. Cool:
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Glaze:
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and milk, and continue to mix until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
9. Glaze the Donuts:
Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops of each donut into the cream cheese glaze. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your delicious cinnamon-spiced banana nut donuts with cream cheese glaze! These donuts are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a sweet treat any time of day.

Tips:

- Make sure to use ripe bananas as they are sweeter and easier to mash, enhancing the flavor of the donuts.

- For a fluffier texture, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture without over-mixing.

- Allow the donuts to cool completely before glazing to ensure the glaze sets nicely.

- Toast the walnuts slightly before using them to bring out their nutty flavor and add extra crunch.

- If you want a more pronounced banana flavor, feel free to add an extra half banana to the mix.

Whether you’re serving these donuts at a brunch gathering or enjoying a quiet morning at home, this recipe is sure to impress. With a perfect balance of spice and sweetness, and a moist and fluffy texture, these Cinnamon-spiced Banana Nut Donuts with Cream Cheese Glaze are a delightful treat that everyone will love. Happy baking!
