  • Spoon the banana donut batter into each donut mold on your donut pan. Fill only half way up the donut mold. Be sure to smooth out the top of each one.
  • Bake your donuts in the oven for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown. These should pass the tooth pick test, where your tooth pick comes out clean when placed in the center of each donut. Set aside to cool completely.
