Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 3 over-ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or any nut or seed butter)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (for the glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and mix wet ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the over-ripe bananas, eggs, cashew butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the bananas are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt until evenly distributed.
  3. Fold dry into wet and add chocolate chips: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture, mixing gently to form a batter. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
  4. Prepare doughnut pan and fill: Grease a doughnut pan lightly with oil or non-stick spray. Spoon the batter into each doughnut mold, filling about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake the doughnuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the doughnuts’ edges turn a golden-orange hue. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes in the pan.
  6. Make the chocolate glaze: While the doughnuts are cooling, melt the 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler on the stove until smooth.
  7. Glaze the doughnuts: Carefully dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the melted chocolate and then transfer them to a cooling rack to allow the glaze to set.
  8. Serve and store: Enjoy these doughnuts immediately for the freshest taste, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute cashew butter with other nut or seed butters like almond or sunflower seed butter.
  • Ensure bananas are over-ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Use mini chocolate chips inside the batter to prevent heavy sinking, and regular chips for a smooth glaze.
  • Let the doughnuts cool before glazing to ensure the chocolate sets properly.
  • Doughnuts will keep best when stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
