HOW TO MAKE BANANA BREAD DONUTS

Sweetened with organic cane sugar and baked, not fried, these donuts are gluten free, dairy free and unbelievably soft. If you love donuts and banana bread as much as me, these banana bread donuts are the perfect hybrid of the two.

I generally make my donuts in a standard size donut pan but I recently purchased this 3-inch Silicone Donut Baking Pan from Amazon and it’s 10x easier to remove the donuts than the traditional metal pan. I still use a non-stick spray when I’m making donuts but oh-my-gosh, it’s just so much easier.

Once you have your donut molds prepared with non-stick spray, stir together all your wet donut ingredients (including the sugar). In another bowl, stir together the dry ingredients and then add the two together to from a batter. Distribute the batter between the donut molds and bake!

So simple, right?

Once your donuts are cooled and ready, coat them in melted butter and then toss in the cinnamon sugar topping. Enjoy!
