Ingredients
Banana Donuts
1 3/4cupsflour
2teaspoonsbaking powder
1/2teaspoonsalt
1cupsugar
2eggs
1/2cupvegetable oil
1 1/2cupsmashed banana
Peanut Butter Icing
1 1/2cupspowdered sugar
1/4cupcreamy peanut butter
4-5tablespoonsmilk
1/4poundbaconcooked and chopped or crumbled
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vegetable oil. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, then stir in the bananas. Stir just until moistened.
Fill the donut pan with the mixture about 2/3 full. (I find that it is easiest to do this by putting the batter into a large ziptog bag and cutting off the corner, using it like a piping bag.)
Bake the donuts until a toothpick inserted comes out clean - 10-12 mintues. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the icing: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of the milk. Continue adding milk until you reach the desired consistency.
When the donuts are cool, frost with the peanut butter icing. Sprinkle on the bacon before the icing sets up.
