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?
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.
Would this work in an electric donut maker?
that woulb be a great idea
Made these this morning and they’re a maz ing.
Thanks for the recipe
thank you!
