Since I HAD to use up these….
and since I REALLY wanted to make these Apple Cinnamon Baked Donuts
AND this Low-Fat Banana Nut Bread
AND was DROOLING over these Banana Crumb Muffins (thanks Leah!!)
I decided to compromise.
Baked Banana Nut Bread Donuts with Crumb Topping were born….and devoured.
Baked Banana Nut Bread Donuts with Crumb Topping
Makes 12 donuts.
1 1/4 c. All-Purpose Flour
1/2 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp canola oil
1 large egg, beaten
2 medium egg whites, beaten
4 medium overripe bananas
1 c. uncooked Old Fashioned Oats
1/3 c. chopped walnuts
Crumb Topping (Optional…but SO worth it!)
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 T flour
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 T butter
Preheat the oven 350 degrees and spray 1 donut pan with cooking spray. Combine all dry ingredients including the oats and cinnamon. Mash bananas in a separate bowl, adding the oil and 1 whole egg. Mix thoroughly. Add the wet ingredients into the dry flour mixture. Mix well, forms a thick batter. With a hand mixer, beat the egg whites until medium stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter in three separate additions. Fold in chopped walnuts last. Pour into prepared donut pan (~1/4 c. of batter). Now, make the topping. Combine the sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in cold butter until a crumbly consistency is formed. Sprinkle generously over the top of each donut. Bake 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes and then flip out onto a wire rack.

Question: What are YOU in the mood for?
wow!
Those look fantastic!
You’re a genius. I am drooling. Such a sucker for crumb topping. I have a great banana bread recipe I’ve been meaning to make next time my bananas get ripe. However, I may need to try yours! I keep freezing them for soft serve now.
Um these look completely amazing! Love how you mixed and matched these recipes so perfectly!
these look delish. i like your version of compromise!
What a great idea! I love banana crumble muffins and these just look heavenly delicious! Since it’s raining here, it makes me want to curl up on the coach, watch a movie and drink something warm!!
Hi Erin, these look STELLAR!!!!!! I’ve never seen a doughnut pan, I MUST keep my eyes open for one! Have a wonderful weekend.
OH my gosh. I need to make these ASAP! First I need a donut pan.

you’re so creative, erin! i love your combo idea!
i love a crumb topping – my fave dessert is apple crisp, not so much for the apples, but for the crumble top! i would love to try to recreate a chocolate oatmeal square that is sold near me: a shortbready type base, chocolate middle and crumb topping. some day i will give it a shot!
happy weekend!
I make that banana crumb muffin recipe and I love it! It’s usually what I make with my brown bananas.
I’m in the mood for…I’m actually not sure. I suppose I’m always in the mood for chocolate.

Happy National Donut Day!! These are a *perfect* way to celebrate!! Banana bread is my absolute favorite bread. I could eat it every day. And I’m sure donut-form is 100 times more delicious!

The donuts are so cute! I want a donut pan (even though I don’t really eat donuts much!) Right now, I’m in the mood for the Fruity Quinoa and Amaranth salad that I made on the weekend (http://eatspinrunrepeat.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/the-good-and-the-bad/). I’ve taken it for lunch every day this week but I’m still LOVING it!
