Banana Donut Holes
Super-easy and minimalist vegan donut holes that feature a hidden source of fiber.
Equipment
- Air Fryer or oven
- cooking spray
- Mixing bowls for the dough and cinnamon sugar
Ingredients
- 2 bananas medium, mashed
- 1½ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the coating
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or air fryer to 350F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, mash the bananas until completely smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the flour and baking powder and softly stir until a batter is formed. Now, oil your hands, and transfer the dough to a cutting board. Softly knead (the dough will be slightly sticky) until you are able to achieve a slightly firm dough ball.
- Then, with your hands, separate into 9 to 12 golf sized balls, rolling to be as round as possible. Spray with oil.
- Place on the baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned on the outside and puffed up. In the meantime, stir together the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until combined.
- Take the donut holes, and toss them in the cinnamon and sugar until coated. Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
- No air fryer? Make these in an oven (with a fanned setting if you have one).
- If you're not a fan of cinnamon, you can dip these banana donut holes in chocolate, shredded coconut, or vegan glaze.
- Make it fancy by serving your donut holes on skewers, like cake pops.
- Gluten-free flour mix or oat flour would make these work. However, they may come out more dense that wheat donut holes.
- This recipe yields 9-12 servings.
