Equipment
- Nonstick Cooking Spray
- Rubber Gloves optional
Ingredients
Banana Donut Holes:
- 1 ¾ Cup Pancake Mix
- 1 Large Ripe Banana
Optional for Toppings:
- ¼ Cup White Granulated Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- ½ Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 Small Ripe Banana
Instructions
Banana Donut Holes;
- Peel the large banana and add it to a medium mixing bowl. Thoroughly smash the banana using a fork.
- Add the pancake mix to the bowl and stir until the ingredients start to clump together in large clumps.
- Using rubber gloves, if desired, spray nonstick spray on hands (or gloves) and start to knead the ingredients together. Don’t overmix. Knead and mix with your hands until the dough all comes together. It will be a little sticky, this is perfectly fine.
- Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon sized balls (about 1 inch), making sure to keep your hands or gloves well greased.
- Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and place as many of the dough balls as you can in the air fryer basket, spacing them about 1 inch apart as they will expand. I usually fit about 6 at a time in my 2-quart air fryer.
- Air fry for 7 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit. Carefully remove from the basket and repeat until all the dough has been used.
- Coat the donut holes in a topping or eat immediately.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- If choosing to coat your donut holes in cinnamon and sugar, simply combine ¼ cup white granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir well.
- Spray the donut holes with nonstick cooking spray right before rolling them thoroughly in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. I do a couple at a time. Enjoy!
Banana Glaze:
- If you’re choosing to coat your donut holes in the banana glaze, add a small banana to a small bowl and mash thoroughly using a fork.
- Add the powdered sugar to the banana and stir until fully combined.
- Drop the donut holes in the glaze and fully coat them before scooping them out with a fork. Rest on parchment paper or a plate. Enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
• These donut holes are best when eaten immediately. If you would like to store them, do not coat them in the banana glaze as it will make them gooey. To store, place in an airtight container, in the pantry, for up to 4 days.
• These donut holes will be a little harder on the outside and that’s normal! If you want a bit more flavor or sweetness, you can add a bit of vanilla and sugar to your mixture before making the dough.
• If you make the dough balls bigger or smaller, this will adjust the cooking time, just as a heads up. Reduce or increase the time as needed.
• If the donut holes come out dense, it means too much pancake mix was used. In your future attempts, try adding a bit more banana or less pancake mix to fix the issue.
