Preheat oven to 425. Lightly spray donut pan with cooking spray
In large bowl, Mash bananas well. Add melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla and stir until well-combined.

In a separate bowl, combine flours, oats, baking soda, baking powder, ground flax seed (if using) and cinnamon.
Add your dry mixture to the wet and stir until just combined. Allow the batter to sit for 5 minutes.
Spoon or pipe batter into donut pan (I pour the batter into a large ziploc bag, snip off a corner and pipe it in).
Bake at 425 for 7-8 minutes
If Frosting...
In KitchenAid, combine cream cheese and butter. Stir until creamed together. Add vanilla and brown sugar and stir.
