1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar
1 large egg ,room temperature
1 medium banana ,mashed
6 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons dark rum

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray non-stick 6 count doughnut baking pan with cooking spray.
Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. In a small bowl, mash together the banana, sugar, soured milk, egg, and coconut extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
Fill pan three quarters of the way full in each well. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden and doughnut bounces back when slightly pressed.
Let cool on cooling rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely before frosting.
To make the glaze, melt butter on stove top over low heat. Continue to cook (watch this carefully or it will burn) until butter just begins to form brown specks. Remove from heat.
Add ½ cup of powdered sugar to the butter. Stir, mixture will be dry and crumbly. Add rum, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add remaining sugar until it becomes of easily spreading and/or dipping consistency - whatever your preference.
