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.

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.

Sprinkle on the shredded coconut.

Add the walnuts and EAT!
