# Ingredients Needed:
→ Main
01 -
1 ripe banana (approximately 120g)
02 -
120g pancake mix
→ Optional Toppings
03 -
30g granulated white sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 -
15g powdered sugar
06 -
1 small ripe banana (approximately 80g) for glaze
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Peel and mash the ripe banana thoroughly in a medium mixing bowl until completely smooth with no chunks.
02 -
Add the pancake mix to the mashed banana and stir until the mixture starts forming clumps.
03 -
Lightly grease your hands with nonstick spray and gently knead the dough until just combined. Shape the dough into tablespoon-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, greasing hands to prevent sticking.
04 -
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the dough balls in the basket with approximately 1 inch space between each to allow for expansion. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Remove carefully.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Lightly spray the warm donut holes with nonstick spray and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
06 -
Mash the small banana until smooth and mix in powdered sugar until a pourable glaze forms. Toss the warm donut holes in the glaze, then set on parchment paper to allow coating to set.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Best enjoyed fresh and warm. Store uncoated donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Avoid glazing prior to storage to prevent sogginess.
02 -
Adjust dough ball size slightly to modify cooking time. Smaller balls require less time, larger balls require more.
03 -
For sweeter or more flavorful dough, incorporate a dash of vanilla extract and a spoonful of sugar before forming dough.
