Banana Nut Doughnuts Recipe

This is breakfast happiness! If you are a banana bread fan, you must try this easy Banana Nut Doughnuts Recipe. Super easy to make and amazing!

I walked into the kitchen this morning and went to grab a banana. I picked up the top of the bunch and they all fell off. Well then, that was a sign from God that it was time to make banana something-or-other. I have so many great recipes that I love to pull out when I have bananas that are going bad, but today I was ready to roll up my sleeves and try something a little different. I bring you these Banana Nut Doughnuts...my son is still drooling over them as I type this. LOL

The key to these is a doughnut pan. I bought one a while back and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Seriously, I never knew I needed one of these in my life until I had it.

You can make the yummiest cake doughnuts around with this thing...I swear!

Are you drooling yet? This glaze made these doughnuts so over the top! I sprinkled a few more chopped pecans and voila! These were way too easy to make!
