2-ingredient banana donut holes

Introduction:

These 2-ingredient banana donut holes are a quick and delicious treat perfect for any time of the day. They combine the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the fluffiness of self-rising flour, resulting in a healthier alternative to traditional donuts. Whether you bake or air fry them, these donuts are a simple way to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping the ingredient list minimal.

Ingredients:

• Base Recipe:
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed into about 1 cup of puree)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or make your own by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt)
• Optional Toppings:
  • Cinnamon sugar (2 tablespoons sugar + 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon)
  • Melted coconut oil or butter for coating.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • Mash ripe bananas into a smooth puree. Mix in the self-rising flour until a sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
2. Shape the Donut Holes:
   • Grease your hands with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
3. Cook the Donut Holes:
   • Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Place the dough balls in the basket, leaving space between them. Cook for 7–9 minutes until golden brown.
   • Baking Method: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until puffed and golden.
4. Add Toppings:
   • While warm, brush the donut holes with melted coconut oil or butter. Roll them in cinnamon sugar for a classic coating.

Conclusion:

These banana donut holes are a fun and customizable treat that’s easy to make. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack and can be enjoyed plain or with toppings. They also freeze well, so you can prepare a batch in advance. Give them a try for a healthier take on classic donuts.
