Chocolate RumChata Glazed Banana Doughnuts

4 from 1 ratings

Happy National Doughnut Day! After I baked my Raspberry Vanilla Doughnuts, I got hooked on baking doughnuts. This is very dangerous. I've been wanting to use RumChata for a while, and since RumChata is the magical combination of horchata and rum, I figured it would work beautifully with chocolate and banana flavors. And because I hate to see a naked doughnut, I sprinkled the tops with coconut shavings. Let me tell you, it did. I'm sure you'll have just as much fun as I did making these doughnuts. Since these are a cinch to make, you have plenty of time to bake these for National Doughnut Day! What are you waiting for?
