  7. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Allow one minute after baking to rest in pan. Tip pan upside down and tap. Continue to cool donuts on a flat surface. (not a rack)
  8. Chocolate Ganache:
  9. Put chocolate chips into a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
  10. In a microwave safe bowl, heat heavy whipping cream for 30-45 seconds. Pour over the chocolate chips. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  11. Dip each mini banana donut half way into ganache and set off to the side on a flat surface.
  12. Notes:The chocolate ganache on the donuts will stay silky and become a little “stiffer” when cooled completely. But the ganache will still remain "velvety".
  13. Enjoy!
