Cake Mix Banana Mini Donuts

I had seen that someone had made donuts using just a cake mix and canned pumpkin. Smashed bananas are similar in texture to cooked pumpkin so I figured that would work and it did! Wow! They are actually fabulous and my family loved them!!!! Bet you can't eat just one!!!

2 medium mixing bowls

1 cup measure

teaspoon measure

fork

spoon

rubber scraper

whisk

electric donut maker

plate

Ingredients:

bananas, mashed, to make 2 cups

1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix

2 cups confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup fudge ice cream topping

1 tablespoon sprinkles

Smash enough bananas to make 2 cups.

Place cake mix in bowl with smashed bananas. Blend well.

Spray no stick cooking spray into wells of donut maker.

For donut maker:

Spoon donut mixture into donut maker and cover. Bake until the light goes out, about 6 minutes.

Remove donuts and place on a wire rack. Repeat until all of the donut batter is used. This should make about 48 mini donuts.

Oven directions for full sized donuts:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray donut pan with no stick cooking spray.

Spoon the batter into the wells of the donut pan, making 12 donuts. Bake the donuts for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.

Let the donuts cool in the pans for about 5-6 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.

In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar with the milk and the vanilla extract. Dip the donut tops into the glaze, then place each donut on the wire rack.

In a small bowl, microwave the fudge topping for about 20 seconds; stir. Drizzle the fudge topping over the tops of the donuts. Add as many sprinkles as you desire.

I hope you try these donuts! They are so easy to prepare and are so very tasty!!!
