Healthy Banana Doughnuts
These Healthy Banana Doughnuts are so moist, flavorful, and yummy. Think chocolate banana bread, but in doughnut form! The perfect snack or breakfast. They also happen to be gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free!
Servings: 6 Doughnuts
Ingredients
For Doughnuts:
- 2 very ripe bananas mashed (about ⅔ cups)
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil or grass-fed butter melted
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cup 125 grams almond flour
- 2 tablespoons 14 grams coconut flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For Chocolate Glaze:
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a 6 hole doughnut pan.
- Whisk together mashed bananas, coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla in a large bowl. Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, salt and baking powder and mix together until fully combined.
- Place batter inside of a pastry bag, or a ziploc bag with small hole cut out of the corner of it, and pipe the batter about ¾ of the way up the doughnut pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the donuts from the pan and let them cool completely on a baking rack.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together over a double boiler or using your preferred method.
- Carefully dip doughnuts into the melted chocolate, and set back on the cooling rack to set.
- Doughnuts will keep for 3 days, covered in the refrigerator or up to 1 day at room temperature, covered.
Notes
For fully dairy-free, make sure to use coconut oil and chocolate chips that do not contain any dairy (such as Enjoy Life)
