  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) warm milk
  • ¼ cup (60 g) salted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Flour mixture

  • 1½ cups (180 g) all purpose flour (plain flour)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) chopped chocolate (pea-sized pieces)
  • 1 level teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ level teaspoon baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (use ½ teaspoon if using unsalted butter)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Glaze

  • 1 cup (115 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 -2 ½ tablespoons milk
Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), or 160°C fan. Grease a donut pan well.
  • Banana mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, mashed bananas, warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until combined.
  • Flour mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and chopped chocolate.
  • Combine: Add the banana mixture to the flour mixture.
  • Stir gently just until combined to form a thick batter.
  • Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each donut mold about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
  • Leave the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges with a small spatula before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Dip or drizzle the glaze over the cooled donuts, then sprinkle over the fine chocolate pieces.

Storage

  • Room temperature: In an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. If refrigerated, bring the donuts to room temperature for a few minutes for the softest texture.
