Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup almond milk (or dairy-free milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and coating a donut pan with non-stick spray or using a silicone mold.
- Sift together gluten-free flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl, ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate large bowl, thoroughly mash ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
- Whisk eggs into the banana mixture, then incorporate honey, applesauce, vanilla extract, and almond milk until well blended.
- Gently fold chopped strawberries into the wet ingredient mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into wet ingredients, stirring carefully to prevent overmixing and maintain a light texture.
- Carefully distribute batter into donut pan cavities, filling each approximately three-quarters full for optimal rising.
- Transfer pan to preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge clean.
- Allow donuts to rest in the pan for 5 minutes to set their structure.
- Carefully transfer donuts to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Swap flours easily by substituting almond or oat flour for a different nutrient profile and texture variation.
- Reduce sugar content by using stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of honey for a lower-calorie option.
- Enhance moisture by adding Greek yogurt or extra mashed banana if the batter seems too dry during mixing.
- Boost protein by incorporating a scoop of vanilla protein powder into the dry ingredient mixture for a more filling treat.
