Ingredients

• 0 cooking spray
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp kosher salt
• 0.25 tsp baking soda
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted, cooled
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 2 Tbsp sour cream
• 1.25 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 0 finely chopped toasted walnuts

Instructions

1. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Grease 2 (6-cavity) donut pans with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.
3. In a large bowl, whisk egg, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla. Add banana and sour cream and whisk until combined.
4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
5. Spoon batter into prepared wells, filling each to just below the center ring.
6. Bake donuts until firm to the touch and edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes.
7. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove donuts from pans, transfer to wire racks, and let cool for 5 minutes more.
8. In a medium bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Add more milk, 1 tsp. at a time, if needed to thin glaze to make it easily dippable.
9. Dip tops of donuts into glaze, then return to wire racks.
10. Top with finely chopped toasted walnuts, if using.
