These fluffy pastries are inspired by one of the most famous American recipes: banana bread; in fact in both cases to make the dough, mashed bananas are used which give it taste and softness.
Since we are not easily satisfied, we have chosen to entice them even more by adding chunks of chocolate, while in the banana and peanut donut we chose dried fruit to add a crunchy note.
