It has been a good month since my daughter returned to the University of Michigan – go Blue!  – and these Banana Heath Bar Donuts were her idea.  Well, the slight variation was using Heath Bars instead of the toffee in the recipe we used.  I love Heath Bars.  Which is odd because I think it has a little bit of a nutty flavor and I do not like nuts.  Since these are a toffee candy bar it was not a stretch to substitute as the toffee ingredient.  Th fun though, it is broken up and thrown into the batter and then broken up again and topped.  Yum.

    Your daughter is spot on. These are spectacular doughnuts. But then I am a doughnut lover to start with. Just bought a doughnut pan too.

      I finally got a donut pan myself. I tend to make donuts and muffins with the same recipe.

    I recently had a maple bar with crumbled butterfingers on top and it was AWESOME. Love the heath idea!

      The Butterfingers I am sure was awesome but unfortunately, I do not like peanut butter. Can you believe that?
