A delicious take on the traditional banana bread are these baked banana bread donuts. They have a rich, dark chocolate glaze on top and are flavorful and moist. Ideal for a sweet treat at any time of day or for breakfast!

Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, mashed. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1 egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 cup milk. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips. 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and grease a donut pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each cooled donut into the melted dark chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set the glaze for about 10 minutes.

Delicious and indulgent glazed bittersweet orange twists with a hint of citrus and rich chocolate. Perfect for a sweet treat!

Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast. 1/2 tsp salt. 1/3 cup whole milk, warmed. 1/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed. 2 large eggs. 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted. 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Instructions: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together warm milk, orange juice, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size. Roll out the dough into a 12x9-inch rectangle, then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Fold the dough in half, covering the chocolate chips, and cut it into 12 strips. Twist each strip and place them on a baking sheet. Let them rest for 15 minutes. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350F 175C. Fry the twisted dough strips in batches until they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
