You can make these without yeast and gluten-free. See recipe notes for options. The donuts by themselves are not too sweet and rely on ripe banana for most of the sweetness.

Ingredients 
 

Wet:

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup, add 1 to 2 tbsp coconut sugar or other sugar depends on the sweetness of the bananas
  • 1/2 cup non dairy milk
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 small ripe bananas or about 2/3 cup mashed
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil melted or other oil or use smooth nut butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut

Dry

  • 1 1/2 cup flour, I use 3/4 cup spelt/whole wheat + 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour or all unbleached all purpose
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp active yeast, optional
  • 1 tsp ground spices or spice blend of choice such as cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions 

  • Blend all the wet ingredients until smooth and pour into a bowl. Or mash the banana really well, then whisk the rest of the ingredients in.
  • Add the 1 1/4 cup flour and the rest of the dry ingredients, and mix well to combine. Add more flour a tbsp at a time to make a somewhat stiff batter. You can add some nuts, seeds, chopped dates or mini chocolate chips at this point and mix in.
  • Let the mixture sit for 5 mins. Grease the donut pan and pour the mixture into the pan (use a spoon or pour into a ziploc/pastry bag and pipe into the pan). Let sit for another 15 mins to rise.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F  (175 C)for 18 to 20 mins. Cool for 5 mins then remove from the pan. Cool completely(cover by a light towel to cool). Glaze with chocolate glaze, or regular sugar icing, or cashew cream frosting and some toasted coconut. or toss in cinnamon sugar mixture.
    Store on the counter for the day, refrigerated for upto 4 days.

Notes

To make these gluten-free: Mix 1/3 cup white rice flour, 1/4 cup potato starch, 1 tbsp tapioca starch, 1 cup almond flour, and use. Once baked, cool under a towel. 
 
Make it yeastfree: Omit the yeast and make the batter. No need to let it sit after piping into the pan. You can also bake this yeastfree batter into muffins. Add a cinnamon streusel. 
 
Make these Oilfree: Use 2 tbsp applesauce and 2 tbsp nut butter.

    I love these and made them a few times now! Very easy and tasty.
    Question: will the batter work as a waffle batter? Do I need to change anything?

    1. Richa says:

      Yes it will work fine as waffles

    Best Donuts ever- doesn’t even need a glaze.
    I decided to make these donuts since I needed to use up some really ripe bananas. ( Didn’t want them to go bad) Thought this would be an excellent recipe to try. My husband tried the donuts a few minutes after coming out of the oven and said do not add a glaze – the donuts are so delicious and amazing without it.

    To the batter, I added vegan chocolate chunks and crumbled pecan bits in addition to some cinnamon. I didn’t add yeast and used a gluten-free flour mix that I mixed together.

    Omg they are so delicious and light. We couldn’t wait for breakfast to enjoy these. Next time I will have to make a double batch and freeze some for a later time.
