Notes

May sub whole wheat flour or gluten free flour in place of regular all-purpose flour.
Store in an air tight container for 5-7 days. I'd recommend not frosting them if storing them. You can prepare the frosting or glaze and add it just before eating. This will prevent them from getting too soggy.
To fill your donut plan without making a mess you can put your batter into a ziplock sandwich bag (or bigger size) and snip off the corner and pipe in the batter.
To add glaze combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2-4 tbsp of milk of choice.
To make powdered sugar donuts roll slightly warm donuts in powdered sugar.
If your banana isn't really ripe your donuts won't be as sweet and may be more dry.
