How to Make Easy 2 Ingredient Banana Donuts

Ingredients:

• 3 large Ripe Bananas (Use overripe bananas for best sweetness.)
• 1 cup Self-Rising Flour (Substitute with all-purpose flour mixed with baking powder and salt if needed.)
• 1/2 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (For a sweet twist.)
• 1/4 cup Chopped Nuts (Walnuts or almonds add crunch.)
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon or Nutmeg (For a warm spice flavor.)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

5. Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or oil.
6. Spoon the mixture into the donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

How to Store Easy 2 Ingredient Banana Donuts

To store your leftover donuts, place them in an airtight container. They can last at room temperature for 2-3 days. If you want them to last longer, store them in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them well before freezing.

Tips to Make Easy 2 Ingredient Banana Donuts

• Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
• If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt to create a substitute.
• Experiment with different mix-ins, like dried fruit or coconut flakes, to find your perfect combination.

Variation

You can try different flavors by adding cocoa powder for chocolate donuts or vanilla extract for a richer taste. For a healthier option, replace chocolate chips with dried fruits like raisins or cranberries.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen bananas?
Yes, you can use frozen bananas! Just thaw them properly and drain any excess liquid before mashing.

2. Can I make these donuts gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free flour blend instead of self-rising flour. Make sure it has baking powder included.

3. How can I make these donuts sweeter?
If you prefer sweeter donuts, consider adding a couple of tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to the banana mixture before baking.
