Method

So to start, pre heat your oven to 180C. Place your banana and all of your wet ingredients into a blender and whizz it up until smooth!
Then add all of your dry ingredients either into the blender or in a separate bowl before mixing in the wet mixture you've now made.
Carefully pour and separate your combined mixture into your doughnut tray and place in the center of your pre heated oven.
After 15 minutes, the tops of your doughnuts should be slightly crisp and ready to remove!
But whilst they're in the oven, you should make the glaze for the top of the doughnuts. To do so, combine all of your ingredients (minus the vanilla extract) into a pan on a low heat and stir until they are all combined. Take off the heat and add in your vanilla extract and allow to cool.
Once you have removed your doughnuts from the oven and allowed them to cool on a cooling rack you can begin the decorating to process!
To do so, dip the top of the doughnuts into the glaze and then set back on the cooling rack before sprinkling some of your desiccated coconut on the top half of the doughnut. Then press a red skittle onto the top of each of the doughnuts for the "berries!"
For the leaves, use green icing to create a bold tasty touch.
Leave to dry then share and enjoy!
