Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium overripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ¼ cups / 315 milliliters mashed)
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups (180 grams) whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
Liquid and Binding Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) milk
Leavening and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Chocolate Glaze and Decorations:
- 2 cups (340 grams) mini chocolate chips, divided
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- Chocolate sprinkles, for decorating
- Crushed marshmallows, for decorating
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by coating a 6-cup doughnut pan or 12-cup muffin pan with a light layer of melted butter, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth mixture by vigorously blending ripe bananas, creamy peanut butter, sweet maple syrup, fresh eggs, and aromatic vanilla until the consistency is uniform and free of lumps.
- Gently incorporate dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt – into the wet mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a tender texture. Fold in melted coconut oil with delicate strokes to distribute evenly.
- Carefully portion the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity between half to two-thirds full, allowing room for rising during baking.
- Transfer the pan to a preheated oven set at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 12-13 minutes until the doughnuts are set and a light golden color emerges.
- Allow the baked doughnuts to rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully loosen edges with a knife and invert to release.
- Craft the chocolate glaze by melting chocolate chips with either avocado oil or milk in short microwave intervals, stirring between each to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Immerse each cooled doughnut into the warm chocolate glaze, ensuring complete coverage, and optionally sprinkle with chocolate decorations or crushed marshmallows for added texture and visual appeal.
Notes
- Check banana ripeness for maximum sweetness and moisture in doughnuts, using overripe bananas with dark brown spots.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent tough, dense doughnuts; stir until ingredients are just combined for tender texture.
- Experiment with alternative gluten-free flours like almond or oat flour for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Cool doughnuts completely before glazing to prevent chocolate
