These Banana Donut Holes are a delightful, bite-sized treat made from ripe bananas and a simple batter, baked to perfection and coated in a cinnamon-sugar blend. Perfect for a quick snack or dessert, they deliver a soft, fluffy texture with a sweet cinnamon finish.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1½ cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium bananas (mashed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven or air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas and Add Vanilla: In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract to incorporate flavor evenly.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients and Form Batter: Add flour and baking powder to the mashed bananas and gently mix until a soft batter forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but cohesive.
  4. Knead Dough: Lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking, then transfer the batter to a cutting board. Gently knead the dough until it becomes slightly firmer and easier to handle.
  5. Shape Donut Holes: Divide the dough into 9 to 12 golf ball-sized portions. Roll each between your hands to form smooth, round balls. Lightly spray them with oil for a better bake.
  6. Bake: Arrange the donut holes evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until the outside is golden brown and the donut holes have puffed up.
  7. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: While baking, combine sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl until well mixed.
  8. Coat Donut Holes: Once baked, immediately toss the warm donut holes in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are evenly coated.
  9. Serve or Store: Enjoy the donut holes fresh and warm, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it for 10-15 minutes.
  • You can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • For extra moisture, add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or applesauce to the batter.
  • These donut holes are best enjoyed the same day but can be reheated in a toaster oven for freshness.
  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and softness.
