Banana Doughnuts w/ Peanut Butter Glaze

I introduced you to my doughnut maker Dazey a long time ago for my coffee-glazed doughnuts.  Now she reemerges!

When my dad decided it was time to part ways with his old doughnut maker, my sister and I had a little battle over it.  I won.  But she wanted to use it one more time before it came to live with me.

So we whipped up a batch of donuts.  I went searching through her cupboards to find ingredients to turn her recipe vegan.  So we used what she had on hand to replace the eggs in her recipe – bananas.  Delicious banana flavored donuts resulted!

Since the donuts came out tasting much more like bananas than anticipated, we decided two glazes were necessary – our planned very simple glaze and a peanut butter flavored one to accompany the banana goodness.

Oh yum.

I thought I should share.


banana doughnuts:
yields 8 doughnuts
1 C whole wheat pastry flour
1 T baking powder
1/4 C vegetable oil
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 t salt
1/4 C sugar

Mix batter.  Pour into doughnut maker and cook for about 5-8 minutes.  

No doughnut maker?  No problem!  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bake these either in a doughnut-shaped pan or in muffin tins for 15-25 minutes (closer to 15 mins in a doughnut shaped pan, but more like 25 if you’re making regular sized muffins. Maybe even 30 for muffins.)

peanut butter glaze: 
1 T PB2
2 T powdered sugar
2 t soy milk

Whisk glaze ingredients together.  You can put the glaze in a shallow bowl and dip the top of each doughnut in the glaze as you take them out.  But I was in the mood to pour my glaze over a tower of doughnuts.  

That was fun.

I’m also trying to teach my cat the command “get the hell off my dining table” as of late.  I don’t think it’s working.  What do you think? 


Maybe if I didn’t laugh and take 25 pictures before scolding him . . .
