Baked Banana Donuts with Brown Sugar Glaze

I got a donut maker for Christmas and decided to try it out today. These are oh my gosh YUM! An alternative to the donut maker is a donut pan. Either one would work. Do try these :)

Makes 15-18 mini donuts

Ingredients:

-2 cups whole wheat flour
-1/4 cup turbinado sugar or substitute

-1 tsp. baking powder
-1/2 tsp. baking soda
-1/4 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. nutmeg
-1/2 tsp. ginger
-1.5 tsp. cinnamon
-2 ripe bananas, mashed
-1.5 cups nonfat milk

Glaze:

-1/2 cup brown sugar
-1/4 cup water
-vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:

1) Preheat donut maker or oven to 350 degrees.

2) Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon in large bowl. Add mashed banana and milk. Mix thoroughly.

3) Spoon mixture into wells of donut maker or donut pan. Bake 5-6 minutes in donut maker or until lightly golden brown in oven. Move to cooling rack after baking.

4) In the meantime, combine brown sugar, water, and vanilla in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, pour mixture into a small bowl, and allow to cool/thicken 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

5) Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze. Place back on cooling rack until the glaze hardens.
