Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pure maple syrup (or honey), and oil or water. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Spoon the banana bread donut batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, until light golden color and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
