Recipe Notes

-you can sub 1/2 cup applesauce instead of the banana.

-Instead of hazelnuts, you can also sub whatever nuts you want. (You sure you wanna do that tho??)

-After removing them from the oven, let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes.  This makes for easier removal.

-Store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge.  Best if consumed within 3-4 days.  I like to re-heat them back up in the microwave, it’s just like they’re fresh out the oven!
