Hungry AF/Bananas Foster Donuts/Bananas Foster Donuts

Ingredients

  • 1 banana, halved and sliced into rounds
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum, plus more for serving
  • For the batter: 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup mashed bananas
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla.
  2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and rum and allow to simmer. Remove from heat.
  4. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a donut baking pan with cooking spray. Drizzle a small amount of the sugar mixture into each well.
  5. Arrange the banana slices on top of the sugar mixture, in a single circular pattern.
  6. Spoon the batter on top of the bananas, filling the donut wells 3/4 of the way full. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool for about 8 minutes, and then flip over the pan to release the donuts. Optional (but totally awesome): pour a little more rum on the donuts and carefully flambé!
