How to ripen bananas

My daughter and I couldn’t help it, we had a really hard time choosing what photos to include in this recipe. I highly recommend pinning this recipe now so you have it handy anytime you have a couple of over-ripe bananas to use up.

If your bananas are not ripe yet, don’t worry. Bananas are so easy to ripen, check out this great hack!

Our favorite way to ripen bananas is to bake them at 250 degrees for 10-15 minutes!

If a sweet banana flavor is your thing too, you MUST try my most popular banana recipe, Gluten Free Banana Bars!!

Donuts for breakfast is a good thing:

You will be surprised when you see that these donuts are pretty healthy! Skip the chocolate fudge on top and you can eat these healthy banana donuts for breakfast!!!

(And if you want more donuts for breakfast, you MUST try this recipe for Gluten Free Healthy Breakfast Donuts! There is so much hidden nutrition in these. Your kids will never know!)

How to bake donuts in a donut pan:

Originally, I thought this would be another one of those donut maker recipes that is so easy if you want donuts in just minutes.

I have had so many readers writing to me to ask how to make my gluten free donuts recipes in a donut pan. I decided to take the longer route with this donut recipe and bake these in a donut pan so you can see how easy this gluten free donut recipe is to make.

You can use a donut maker to make this banana donut recipe too! Just drop the batter into a heated donut maker and allow the donuts to cook for 3-5 minutes until done.

How To Make Moist and Delicious Gluten Free Banana Donuts:

(I took lots of pictures so you can see every step along the way.)

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk to blend.

Pour the wet ingredients in and mix.

This is the batter, see how it is a little thick? That is okay, these donuts will still be nice and light.

I added the batter to a donut pan. It is a little hard to stay in the grooves :-).

Here they are fresh out of the oven.

Drizzle on the fudge chocolate sauce.

What chocolate sauce is best to use for this donut recipe?

I used a simple chocolate fudge sauce I found at Trader Joe’s, but you can also melt chocolate chips to make your own homemade chocolate sauce. This is a fun option if you prefer the flavor of milk chocolate!

Sprinkle on the shredded coconut. I use unsweetened shredded coconut, but you can use sweetened if you like things really sweet :-).

Add the walnuts and EAT!

Can you use other types of nuts in this recipe?

You can use any type of nuts you like in this recipe like:

• pecan
• almond (slivered)
• macadamia
