How to make banana donuts
Mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
Add the melted butter or vegetable oil. Then add the flour mixed with baking powder and mix the dough. Finally, add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag or a regular plastic bag with the tip cut off. Fill a donut pan about two-thirds full.
Bake the donuts at 180°C for about 15–18 minutes. They should be lightly browned.
For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the milk, adding it gradually to achieve a slightly runny consistency. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Let the finished donuts cool, dip the tops into the glaze, then immediately dip them into the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture.
