    These doughnuts are extra fluffy, have a cake-like texture, and are topped with a rich chocolate glaze.  It's like your favorite banana bread in doughnut-form!  Made gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and dairy free!

    my doughnut history...

    My dad used to do this thing on Saturday mornings when I was a kid - he called it the ‘doughnut fairy’. He would wake my sister and me up around 7am and we would pile in his car. We’d drive 20 minutes up the road to the nearest Krispy Kreme and order like 6 dozen glazed doughnuts. Then we’d leave a dozen on our friends’ doorsteps, ring the doorbell, and run! Looking back, they were probably a little annoyed at the doorbell ringing so early on a Saturday morning. But they did open the door to some hot steamy doughnuts right at their feet so it wasn’t a bad deal.

    If you like banana bread & doughnuts, this one is for you! Think light and airy baked doughnut with nodes of sweet banana and chocolate. This recipe is hard to beat and is sure to please any crowd!

    What you need to make banana bread doughnuts

    • Overripe bananas - the kind that's just about to turn a dark brown color
    • Eggs
    • Nut butter - any kind works with this recipe. Cashew butter is my favorite!
    • Vanilla extract
    • Coconut flour
    • Baking powder & sea salt
    • Chocolate chips

    tips when making banana bread doughnuts

    • Bananas need to be overripe. The best bananas for this recipe are light brown color and on the verge of becoming dark brown
    • Grease your doughnut pan. I like to grease the pan with a little coconut oil but any oil will work
    • Use a ziplock bag when filling your doughnut pan. This keeps everything clean. Simply scoop your batter into a ziplock bag, cut the tip off on the bottom of the bag and squeeze into each doughnut mold

    Description

    These doughnuts are extra fluffy, have a cake-like texture, and are topped with a rich chocolate glaze.  It's like your favorite banana bread in doughnut-form!  Made gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and dairy free!


    Ingredients

    Scale

    3 over-ripe bananas

    2 eggs

    ¼ cup nut butter (I used cashew butter in this recipe)

    1 tsp vanilla

    ½ cup coconut flour

    1 tsp baking powder

    ¼ tsp sea salt

    ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

    1 cup dark chocolate chips (for the glaze on top)


    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F.  In a bowl, mix the bananas, eggs, nut butter, and vanilla until the banana is well mixed

    2. In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt together then slowly fold into the bowl with the bananas.  Fold in the chocolate chips

    3. Grease a doughnut pan and spoon batter into each doughnut mold about ⅔ of the way up

    4. Bake in oven for 10 - 12 minutes until the edges turn a golden orange.   Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes

    5. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stove*.  Carefully dip the top of each doughnut in the melted chocolate and transfer to a cooling rack to set

    6. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week!

    Notes

    *Note : my favorite way of melting chocolate on the stove is using a make-shift double-boiler.  Simply fill up a small pot with about 1 cup of water and bring to a simmer.  Place your chocolate chips in a small skillet on top of the simmering pot of water.  The indirect heat from the water will melt the chocolate perfectly and you don't have to worry about the chocolate melting!

      This looks amazing, any thoughts of replacing eggs with flax egg or something similar?
