Ingredients

For the Donut Holes:

  • ½ cup ripe banana (about 1 large banana)
  • ¾ cup self-rising flour

For the Coating:

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unrefined sugar (or substitute with monk fruit blend for a sugar-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted, or use melted vegan butter)

For Kneading:

  • 2–3 teaspoons melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    Mash the banana into a smooth puree until you have ½ cup. Add the self-rising flour and stir with a rubber spatula until it starts to form lumps. Oil your hands and knead the mixture to form a sticky dough ball. If the dough is too moist, add up to 2–3 tablespoons more flour, but avoid over-flouring.
  2. Shape the Donut Holes:
    Grease your hands with melted coconut oil. Take about a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on a plate lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the dough is shaped into balls.
  3. Air Fry:
    Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and place the donut holes inside, leaving about 1 inch (3 cm) between each. Air fry for 6–7 minutes or until they’re puffy and golden brown.
  4. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
    While the donut holes are air frying, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Once the donut holes are done, brush each warm ball with melted coconut oil using a pastry brush. Then, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  5. Serve:
    Enjoy the donut holes warm for the best taste and texture.

Pro Tips

  • Storage: Store the donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Replace self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend, ensuring it includes a leavening agent.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough for added flavor.
