2-Ingredient Banana Donut Holes
These quick and easy banana donut holes are made with just two ingredients - ripe bananas and self-rising flour. Perfect for a cozy treat in under 20 minutes!
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana The spottier the banana, the sweeter it is.
- 3/4 cup self-rising flour If using all-purpose flour, add baking powder and salt.
Cooking Options
- 1 to 1.5 inches neutral oil for frying Heat oil for frying if you choose that method.
- 1 spray or light grease for air frying Lightly grease the basket for air frying.
Optional Toppings
- to taste cinnamon sugar Roll warm donut holes in cinnamon sugar or dust with powdered sugar.
- to taste chocolate chips Press mini chocolate chips into each donut hole before cooking for added sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Mash the banana in a medium bowl until mostly smooth; you should have about 1/2 cup mashed banana.
- Add 3/4 cup self-rising flour and fold gently with a spoon until the dough comes together. If it's sticky, add more flour a little at a time.
- Dust hands with flour, pinch off small portions of the dough, and roll into balls about 1 inch wide, aiming for 10 to 14 donut holes.
Cooking
- To fry, heat neutral oil in a small pot over medium heat. Fry donut holes in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown; drain on a paper towel.
- To air fry, arrange donut holes in a lightly greased air fryer basket and air fry at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- To bake, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 12 to 14 minutes until lightly golden.
Finishing Touches
- Roll the warm donut holes in cinnamon sugar or dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Store cooled donut holes in a covered container for 1 day at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the air fryer at 320°F for a few minutes.
