Method
 

Banana Donuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pan with nonstick coating and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt and spices.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk mashed bananas, eggs, butter, milk and vanilla until combined.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Take care to avoid overmixing.
  5. Pipe batter into donut pan, filling cavities 3/4 of the way.
  6. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until tops spring back when pressed with a fingertip.
  7. Cool donuts in pan for 3 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before topping with frosting.
  8. Clean donut pan, coat with nonstick spray then repeat the baking process with remaining batter.
Condensed Milk Frosting
  1. Beat chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until medium peaks form, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add chilled condensed milk and vanilla then continue beating until incorporated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembly
  1. Dip the top of each donut into frosting then swirl until evenly coated.
  2. If desired, top frosting with a dusting of cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips.
  3. Donuts taste best the day they are made but can be covered and stored up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
