I believe that some of my best ideas occur when I'm painfully upset. It's how I ended up with a pixie cut, it's how I ended up at the University of Minnesota, it's why I have Bingley. Now it's why I have these donuts in my life. It's been a very long day. I am very tired, very hurt, and ultimately scared. When I'm hurting, I do things in my house to make me feel better, because leaving the house alone doesn't seem like a very good option. Luckily, to make these donuts, I didn't need to leave the house for anything. I knew I wanted caramel today. I knew I had one singular banana in my freezer, waiting to be used (I don't eat bananas unless they're baked into something. They freak me out, so of course there was only one banana in my freezer). As a non-banana fan, I assumed caramel and banana would be a good idea. What could go wrong? Long story short: nothing. Nothing could go wrong. Brown Butter Baked Banana Donuts with Caramel Glaze (makes 6-8 donuts) For the donuts:
- Grease a donut baking pan, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Set aside. -Whisk together dry ingredients in a bowl, set aside -In a separate bowl, whisk together banana, egg, buttermilk, browned butter, and vanilla. -Forming an indent in the dry ingredients, then pour in wet mixture and whisk until incorporated. -Spread batter evenly in donut pans. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Caramel glaze:
-In a microwave safe bowl, melt the caramel candies and cream together in 10 second increments until smooth and pourable. -Dunk donuts in glaze to coat evenly, and gently shake/roll off any excess. Here's to hoping tomorrow will be a better day. At least, for now, I have donuts.

I'm still doing studies, but evidence so far suggests that all of life's ills can be resolved with donuts. I need to eat more donuts to confirm this, but once I do, I'm certain I shall win a Nobel Prize of some sort.

I think you're onto something. I hope your Nobel Prize will be shaped as a donut, just for you.
