Preparation

Step 1

1. To make the doughnuts: Preheat the oven to 350° and grease two nonstick 6-doughnut pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, mashed bananas, vanilla and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Spoon the batter about ¾ full into the prepared pan. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out dry, about 12 minutes; let cool completely on a rack.
2. To make the banana frosting: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine together the shortening and confectioners’ sugar until fluffy. Beat in the banana, cinnamon, vanilla and the lemon juice. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Evenly spread the frosting over each cooled doughnut.
