Banana Donuts image

I am not much of a baker or dessert maker, but I gave this the old college try for a recent Sunday brunch. I've been wanting to make these because I love bananas so much. Friends liked them, but I had mixed feelings. Please let me know what level of success (or lack of) you have with this - thanks.
