Prepare to indulge in the delightful fusion of flavors with our Cinnamon Banana Nut Donuts topped with a creamy Cream Cheese Glaze. Perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack, these donuts combine the natural sweetness of bananas with the warmth of cinnamon and the satisfying crunch of walnuts, all finished with a rich, tangy glaze that will leave your taste buds craving more.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan or prepare it with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-grain wheat flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
