Deliciously moist banana donuts topped with a creamy cinnamon cream cheese frosting, perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1–1/4 cups sugar
- 1 large banana, mashed
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Banana chips, rough chopped, for garnish
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1–1/2-2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, more or less to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray two donut pans with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate medium bowl, add the milk, beaten egg, butter, sugar, and mashed banana. Whisk to combine until incorporated.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Working in two batches, add the liquid mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to a pastry bag or a zippered plastic bag. Seal the plastic bag and cut off the tip of one of the bottom corners. Pipe the batter into the donut pans, about 3/4 of the way to the top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven, let the donuts sit in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before adding the frosting.
- Garnish with banana chip pieces.
- For the frosting, add cream cheese and Greek yogurt to a bowl. Use a mixer to blend until combined.
- Add confectioners’ sugar gradually and blend until smooth, then mix in cinnamon.
- Spread frosting over completely cooled donuts and top with banana chip pieces.
Notes
- For a thicker frosting, add more confectioners’ sugar.
- For a runnier frosting, add more Greek yogurt a little at a time.
- Ensure donuts are completely cooled before adding frosting to prevent melting.
