Just looking at these doughnuts makes me drool, they are bananatastic! The chocolate and the banana in the doughnut works perfectly together, the chocolate glaze and caramelised bananas being an added bonus.
This recipe works best with overripe bananas as they are sweeter, however any banana will do.
I love baked doughnuts, they are quick to make, less hassle and half the fat of fried doughnuts.They do have a more cake like texture but who cares when you can eat more!
