Equipment

  • donut baking pan
  • mixing bowl
  • small bowl for glaze
  • small bowl for decorations

Ingredients

  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 ripe banana peeled and mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 Tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • t teaspoon cinnamon

Coconut Glaze

  • 2 tablepoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • sparkling colored sugars for decoration or sprinkles or non-pareils

Instructions

Donuts:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. If not non-stick, spray donut pans with cooking spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs, and whisk in the sour cream, vanilla, oil, melted butter, sugars, and salt.
  • Stir in the flour, cinnamon, and baking soda until well combined.
  • With a soup spoon, carefully fill the nonstick donut pans with batter. This recipe filled two pans (total 12 donuts) and an additional 3 donuts. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The donuts will be golden brown and the top will be dry and springy.
  • Remove donuts from the oven and let cool in the pans for 5 minutes so that they will release from the pan without tearing. Cool completely on wire racks before glazing.

Glaze:

  • Melt the butter in the microwave oven. Add corn syrup, water, coconut extract, and powdered sugar to the butter and stir well until smooth.

Decorate:

  • When the donuts are cool, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and then dip into a bowl of colored sugar or sprinkles. Place on the wire rack until the glaze has set and is dry.
