Banana Bread Donut with Browned Butter Caramel Glaze

I am going banana over bananas. Too many ripe bananas from the farm these past days, and a need for something new to bake is a must. Living in Mindanao's fruit basket blessed us with abundance of fruits that the farmers of South Cotabato shipped to Metro Manila and other key cities in the Philippines. In the last months, we experienced over supply of banana and papaya that sells in fruit stands along the highway at a very cheap price. This is the very reason why we got a lot of bananas at home. 

Thanks to Pinterest for loads of recipes to choose from. Banana Bread Donut caught my attention because I was craving for good old donut. And I want to use my mini bundt pans for banana bread donut.

Banana Donut is easy to make. Here’s how I made my very own Banana Bread Donut with Browned Butter Caramel Glaze.
