Banana Bread Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze

 

I am glad that my daughters have a bit of my love for baking. My youngest loves to bake doughnuts and made these. I took one bit and said they tasted like banana bread, considering the name it is a good thing they taste that way. 

I am glad to be able to enjoy a delicious baked good without having to do the baking. Now if I could only get my girls to clean up their messes in the kitchen it would be a win-win. For now, I will ignore the mess in the kitchen and enjoy my doughnut.
