Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

For coating:

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth and well combined.

        Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently fold until just combined. Avoid over-mixing for a fluffy texture.

          Fill the Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Coat: Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating.

                  Coat the Donuts: Once the donuts are cool, dip each one in the melted butter, allowing excess to drip off, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Cinnamon Sugar Banana Donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy these delicious treats with your favorite beverage!
