I feel like I’m stuck in a bit of a blogging rut lately. I’m baking as much as ever and I having a ton of fun learning to use the fancy new camera Santa brought me for Christmas. (I was a very good girl last year!) But for some reason, when I sit down to write about what I baked I draw a blank. Bloggy writer’s block…who knew?
Tonight I decided it was time to break out of the rut. Is there a better way to do that than by sharing donuts? I think not. 
These are not just any donuts. These donuts are full of tropical flavors. How can you resist a donut full of coconut, banana & orange? Well, you just cant.
The orange coconut vanilla cream cheese glaze is to-die-for. I only wish that I had used more on these donuts.
Easy to make baked donuts with excellent tropical flavors.

1/4 cup banana
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon orange zest
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon shredded coconut
2 tablespoons heavy cream
