I\u2019m on a doughnut binge! First I came down with a midnight craving for doughnuts that resulted in some deep-fry action, then I saw a doughnut pan on sale at Crate and Barrel. I just had to buy it. Anything that makes doughnut making a little simpler is a-ok in my books.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been wanting to buy a doughnut pan for a while but I couldn\u2019t make myself do it. I really dislike buying specialty pans \u2014 they always end up languishing in the dark depths of my cupboards. I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d use the pan all that much but after making these banana doughnuts I\u2019m a total convert.<\/p>\n
I love my doughnut pan! Now that I\u2019ve taken the baked doughnut plunge I can totally picture myself making loads of other baked doughnuts. I was planning on starting with a plain doughnut, but some brown freckled bananas called to me.<\/p>\n
I adapted one of my favourite banana bread recipes and I\u2019m happy to report that my doughnuts came out light, fluffy and addictive. They didn\u2019t have the crunch you get from deep frying but I actually preferred the texture of these soft, pillowy ohs of goodness.<\/p>\n
The Nutella glaze took these doughnuts over the top. Nutella and bananas are a classic pairing so the glazed doughnuts did not disappoint, especially with the crunch of the sprinkles. If you\u2019re a fan of naked doughnuts, these doughnuts are just the slightest bit sweet.<\/p>\nSource<\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m on a doughnut binge!
