• Smash very ripe bananas in a medium bowl.
• Mix in all of your ingredients together – slowly mix egg in last.
• Use a zip lock bag to transfer batter to donut pan – scoop batter into a zip lock bag, and cutting an inch off the corner of the bag – using like a piping bag – and squeeze/transfer batter into pan. Bake donuts for 10 minutes.

Tips for How to Make This Baked Cake Donuts

• Get a donut pan – in order to make baked cake donuts you need a donut pan. They are inexpensive and a worthy tool to have in your kitchen – I recommend this donut pan.
• Avoid dry donuts – Don’t over bake your donuts. To get a perfectly moist donut, baking time should not exceed 10 minutes.
• Store in sealed container and reheat later – If you store these donuts in a sealed container, reheat in microwave for 15 seconds to get that warm, moist donut texture every time.

Ingredients

• 2 very ripe bananas, smashed
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tbsp coconut sugar (regular white sugar works)
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• pinch nutmeg
• pinch salt

Chocolate Glaze

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a standard donut pan.

2. In medium bowl smash ripe bananas with fork - add all ingredients (except egg) and mix in with bananas. Lastly, slowly mix in egg - do not over-mix the batter.

3. Fill a zip lock bag with batter and cut inch off the corner - use as a piping bag to transfer batter evenly into pan (link to the pan I used in the notes below). Pipe the batter 3/4 of the way in pan. Bake for 10 minutes - test with toothpick to check if they're baked through. Let donuts cool for several minutes before removing from pan.

4. Chocolate Glaze: microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave safe bowl. Dip donuts face down in melted chocolate. These are best when warm! So eat right away, or store in refrigerator in sealed container and reheat for later.
