Baked Banana Donuts with Maple Cinnamon Glaze

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425F/220C degrees. Butter 10-12 muffin cups (mine yielded 10).

Step 2

In a large bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk oil with the sugars and maple syrup. Add eggs and whisk. Add bananas, yogurt and vanilla extract and mix. Add dry ingredients and fold just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Divide the mixture between the muffin cups almost all the way to the top (fill empty cups halfway with water for even baking). Bake for 3 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 350F/180C. Continue to bake for an additional 12-17 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5-10 minutes and then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 5

In a medium bowl mix powdered sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, milk and one teaspoon of hot water. Continue adding hot water drop by drop until the consistency is thick but pourable. If still not in the right consistency, add more liquid (milk).

Step 6

When the muffins are cooled, dip their tops in the glaze, and tap off any excess.
