Steps

30 mins

1

Peel and then slice plantain into inch long chunks. Add to blender. (If you don't have a blender, I suggest using a yellow to black plantain, mash with a fork, then use a hand mixer in a bowl to combine)
2

Add butter at room temperature, coarse kosher salt & baking powder to blender. Mix until combined
3

In separate bowl, open eggs and then add vanilla extract. Whisk with fork to combine
4

Add egg vanilla mixture from step 3 to blender. If making chocolate, other flavor doughnut, or adding sweetener do at this time. Blend to combine
5

Use non-stick spray of your choice in the baking pan
6

Get out a mini doughnut maker, mini doughnut pan, or mini bundt pan. Fill each form half-way with the batter
7

In oven preheated to 350°F place pan for 7 to 10 minutes. If using doughnut maker, follow the instructions for the machine.
8

Remove from oven and let cool completely in the baking pan on wire rack. Turn pan over to release doughnuts once cooled
9

Now add frosting, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, caramel, etc. Topping choices are near endless!
