Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Whisk
  • Oven
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup Mashed Banana The star of the show! Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture.
  • 3 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup or Honey Adds sweetness and a hint of flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Oil or Water Keeps the donuts moist.
  • 1 cup Flour Provides structure.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Creates a light, fluffy texture.
  • 1/4 tsp Salt Balances the sweetness.

Instructions
 

  • 1. Gather your ingredients. Start by mashing your bananas in a large bowl until smooth. You want about 2/3 cup of mashed banana.
    2. Next, add your choice of pure maple syrup or honey into the bowl with the bananas. Whisk these together until they are well combined.
    3. Now, add the oil or water to your banana mixture and give it another good whisk. This step is key for ensuring your donuts have a nice moist texture.
    4. In a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until they’re fully blended.
    5. Slowly add the dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently. You want to combine them until just mixed; over-mixing can lead to dense donuts.
    6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your donut pan by greasing it.
    7. Pour the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
    8. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about eight minutes.
    9. Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.
    10. Finally, serve your Banana Bread Donuts as is or with your favorite icing or toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: To keep them fresh, store your donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze these donuts! Just make sure they are fully cooled and wrapped well. They should last for about a month.
  • Pairing: These donuts go wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
  • Variations: Try adding chocolate chips or nuts into the batter for an extra element of flavor.
  • Experiment with toppings: Consider using a simple glaze or sprinkling powdered sugar over them just before serving.
