For those foodies out there that love having sweet treats in the morning this recipe by She Knows creatively instructs how to make a [breakfast donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-donuts1) filled with wholesome ingredients. In addition, the donuts are filled espresso powder for a conveniently edible caffeinated boost.

These donuts are much healthier than ones you'd find at a cafe or eatery thanks to the inclusion of nutritious ingredients such as bananas and the fact that they are [baked rather than fried](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinny-witch-donut). The dough is made from flour, banana, cocoa powder, spices, unsalted butter, eggs and milk. Once baked the donuts are covered in an [espresso chocolate glaze](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banana-cream-drinks) that will give the breakfast desserts a caffeinated kick. If desired, the donuts can be further decorated with nuts and colorful sprinkles.
