Banana Beignets?

So this is a picture of what I made--what I TRIED to make. They are called Mini Banana Beignets and I found it in my food network magazine. Apparently they're basically donuts with some mashed up bananas in them. So I tried making them. This is what I got. 

Yeah to me they look like potatoes. I won't lie, but I messed up badly... I think it was just because my dough was a little too liquidy. Even though these didn't look anything like the real banana beignets, they were still DELISH. Anyway, so after a few of these failed ones, I decided to use my leftover batter for something useful. This is what I improvised. (It's just a cake with chocolate)

What do I call this creation? Chocolate Banana Cake! (Very unoriginal, I know.) It's basically just banana bread with chocolate syrup poured over and sugar sprinkled over it. Pretty good, but I want to try the real banana donut. Maybe I'll try it again sometime... or use it for my thanksgiving party that I'm going to hold!
This is the recipe for any of you that would like to make it.
Mini Banana Beignets---Time:25 minutes
Makes about 30 beignets.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 1/2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup mashed banana (about 1 ripe banana)
1/4 teaspoon banana extract (optional)
1. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees.
2. Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl.
3.Whisk the egg, milk, mashed banana, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in another bowl. Add the banana  extract if desired. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a shallow bowl and set aside.
4. Whisk the banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Working in batches, drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 15 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, then roll in the cinnamon sugar while still warm.

This is how to make the banana beignets. As for myself, I just poured the batter in small cake pans and baked at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes. If you decide to try and make this, then enjoy!~
