Ingredients
  

For the Donuts:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup mashed ripe bananas about 2 medium bananas
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Banana Pudding Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mashed ripe bananas about 1 small banana
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Crushed vanilla wafers
  • Sliced bananas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Donut Pan:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Prepare Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fill the Donut Pan:
    Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  • Bake the Donuts:
    Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Banana Pudding Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if too thick or more powdered sugar if too thin.
  • Glaze the Donuts:
    Dip the cooled donuts into the banana pudding glaze, allowing any excess glaze to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack.
  • Garnish:
    Sprinkle crushed vanilla wafers over the glazed donuts and top each donut with a slice of banana, if desired.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Serve the Banana Pudding Donuts immediately. Enjoy the delicious combination of banana-flavored donuts with a creamy banana pudding glaze and crunchy vanilla wafer topping.
