Banana Bread Donuts with Nutella Glaze
I really, really love my donut pan.
I can make stuff like banana bread donuts with Nutella glaze in less than 30 minutes, and instantly transform myself into an ultra-cool mom.
While the “cool mom” status doesn’t last for long, I’ll take what I can get.
The really cool thing about these donuts? They’re baked, and this recipe uses absolutely no oil or butter.
A mashed up banana replaces the oil in this recipe. I promise, they are still super soft and full of flavor, with flecks of cinnamon and nutmeg throughout.
So not only am I semi-cool, but I’m practically a health nut.
Ooh, and as my awesome Facebook readers suggested, these donuts would be awesome with coconut on the top.
If you don’t have a donut pan, no worries–just make these into muffins. Raise the oven temperature to 350 and bake for approximately 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Or, spend the $10 and just order one*–believe me, you won’t regret it. I use mine all.the.time.
And I’m not the only one! Check out some of these other awesome donuts from around blog-world:

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK
Hello There!
Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.

LOVE!
This is an amazing flavor combination for donuts!
Jessica@AKitchenAddiction recently posted..Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This looks so much better than the cereal I’m eating right now. I’m going to have to consider getting one of those pans. So much more fun than muffins! These look fantastic!
Oh I have to try these! I told my girl we could make donuts for breakfast sooo….

Done and done. I am TOTALLY making these this weekend! Banana bread is something I can’t resist (okay, I can’t resist any food, but you know what I mean). Plus that Nutella glaze looks SO perfect and sweet, and sprinkles are a girl’s best friend. Basically what I’m trying to say are, these donuts are absolute perfection. And congrats on Doodle’s first day of kindergarten! I bet this was the perfect breakfast to send him on his way to Crayola heaven 🙂

i love my donut pan, too, and i believe i have YOU to thank for it since i won it from your giveaway! =) these look fab!
amy @ fearless homemaker recently posted..cherry limeade slushies
I LOVE these Ashley. I am totally making them when it’s not 108 degrees. No butter or oil? Genius!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust recently posted..Crazy Sweet Tuesday & Wilton Giveaway!
Wow, these look amazing and I’m totally digging how you’ve replaced butter/oil with mashed up bananas. You are certainly too cool for school!
The Nutella glaze sounds amazing. I went to my local supermarket today and I found something new [and exciting]. Chocolate spread (like Nutella) but has popping candy inside it. How cool is that? Endless opputunites FTW!
And the doughnut pan. Yes please! Thanks to you, I’ve now been distracted and have a US amazon cart worth almost $80 (that’s approx $110) haha. Now to wait to pay day so I can actually buy them!
Lisa {Sweet 2 Eat Baking} recently posted..Monster Cookies
I really, really LOVE my donut pan too! Best investment I’ve made in a long time. Thank you for linking up to my strawberry donuts my dear! I’ve made banana bread donuts before and they are just to die for. You’ve inspired me to make donuts again soon!!
sally @ sallys baking addiction recently posted..peanut butter cup crunch brownies.
I love using my donut pan to be a cool mom:-) And you are certainly way cool for making these without butter or oil…love it!!! Of course anything coated in nutella is the way to go!!! Thanks for linking my mango coconut donuts too…you are such a sweetie!!!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life recently posted..Trick or Treat Tuesday
Does the Nutella glaze get “hard” or at least set. I want to make doughnut holes, so I want something that will set up all over the cake.
Hi Katie. The glaze will not get hard, but it will set if you refridgerate your donuts.
simply wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey y’all I just got done making these. I would recommend using the banana extract if you have some. I didn’t have any on hand and just used vanilla. There wasn’t enough banana flavor in them for me. I also added a little extra Nutella in the glaze yummy!!
