Step-by-Step Instructions for Banana Bread Donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, maple syrup or honey, and oil or water until smooth.
  3. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Fill each cavity of the donut pan about three-quarters full with the batter.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Let the donuts cool for 5 minutes in the pan before inverting them onto a cooling rack.
  7. Enhance with toppings like cinnamon sugar or cream cheese frosting before serving.
