VEGAN BAKED BANANA DONUTS

Steps:

• Vegan Chocolate Glaze:Whisk together confectioners' sugar, cocoa, and salt. Whisk in 4 tablespoons milk and corn syrup until mixture is smooth and has the texture of thick, pourable honey. If needed, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until mixture reaches desired consistency. (Makes 1 1/2 cups.)
• Donuts:Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush 3 standard donut pans with oil. Sprinkle flaxseeds over 1/3 cup water; let stand until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together almond milk and banana. Beat oil with granulated sugar on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in flaxseed mixture. Reduce speed to low and beat in flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk mixture.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip (such as Ateco #807), or to a resealable plastic bag, then snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner. Pipe about 3 tablespoons into each cup of pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 10 minutes (1 to 2 minutes less if pan isn't full). Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks set in rimmed baking sheets and let cool completely.
• Dip top of each donut in glaze until halfway submerged, turning as needed to evenly coat one side, then place, glaze-side up, on racks. Sprinkle with nuts; let stand until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Donuts are best served the day they are made, but can be stored, unglazed, in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day; glaze 1 hour before serving.
