Banana Donut Holes Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup almond flour or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a consistent baking environment for the donut holes.
  2. Mash Banana: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly until smooth, which provides the natural sweetness and moisture for the donut holes.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the almond or oat flour along with the cinnamon or vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Mix well until a uniform batter forms without lumps.
  4. Form Donut Holes: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or donut hole shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the donut holes are firm to the touch and a light golden-brown color.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the donut holes to cool slightly before serving to let them set fully and enhance the texture.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Almond flour provides a nutty taste and is lower in carbs, while oat flour offers a slightly sweeter and more neutral flavor.
  • The cinnamon or vanilla extract is optional but highly recommended to enhance flavor.
  • These donut holes do not contain added sugar; the natural banana sweetness is sufficient.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
