@Helene - I was thinking the same thing. I tried it with a lowered temperature today with better results, I think I just have to play around with my stove. I use a cast iron skillet too, I just totally brainfarted on what it was called last night, haha!

Kahalaomapuana: they should not get dark unless your oil was too hot which would have cooked them fast on the exterior but not on the interior.
Any chance your thermometer may be off?
I do mine in a cast iron skillet which helps keep the temperature steady I found.

I just stumbled upon your site the other day and I'm already making these! Right now in fact, haha. The first few doughnut holes and doughnuts are very tasty, however the color on them is awful! I made sure the temperature of the oil was at 350 before putting any dough in, and the doughnuts do not have a burnt taste, they're just a VERY dark brown color. Also some of the doughnut holes are raw in the middle, but if I let them sit and cool for a bit the heat from the outside seems to cook them through. Could it be because I substituted canola for vegetable? Or that I used a heavy frying pan, maybe that made it hotter than it should have been? These are delicious and I definitely want to get them looking as good as yours do! This is a fantastic recipe for using up extra bananas.

Hahaha I love how you came up with these! Its the opposite in my home, I'm always keeping bananas aside, for ripening, so I can bake with them, but they're almost never there when I look for them!!! Great idea though!

I also wonder if roasting the banana before adding it to the mixture will give the doughnut a more pronounced banana flavour?

I'm not so much into bananas either (except for banana milkshakes for some reason) but these pictures made me want to bake banana doughnuts this weekend!
I will try to make the "Streusel" at least, I have a feeling they go great with icecream^^

THanks for the recipe!

Oh Helen, I know this feeling so well! It happen the same to me with tomatoes. And I also had a few very ripe bananas crying to be used. Wished I had seen these lovely doughnuts before! They look really yummy.

2009-09-16T10:16:33.319-04:00

Wow those sound heavenly! Just the thought of the smell of banana pieces caramelizing in my oven makes me think I should make these today. I don't like bananas by themselves either, but caramelized sounds delicious!

I feel for you! Although I actually like bananas I too know what it feels like to have too many! An aunt of my hubby once sent us 2 crates! That was a lot of banana bread (and some ended up frozen)...wish I had seen this recipe before then!
