Description
These 2-ingredient banana donut holes are a quick and easy sweet treat, perfect for snacks or desserts.
Ingredients
- ½ cup ripe banana (about 1 large banana)
- ¾ cup self-rising flour
- 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)
- 2–3 teaspoons melted coconut oil (for kneading)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Enjoy the donut holes warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
Store the donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For a gluten-free option, replace self-rising flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dough for more flavor.
