Description

These Whole Wheat Baked Banana Donuts are a healthier twist on a classic fried treat. Made with ripe bananas and whole wheat flour, they offer a moist, flavorful bite topped with a rich, creamy peanut butter glaze. Perfect for breakfast or an anytime snack, they combine wholesome ingredients with indulgent taste in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup fat free milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed

Glaze and Toppings

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • Sprinkles, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a standard donut pan (which makes 6 donuts) with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside to ensure easy removal of the donuts after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined to create your dry mixture.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients and Combine: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, fat free milk, and vanilla extract together. Gradually stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined, then gently fold in the mashed ripe bananas for moisture and flavor.
  4. Fill Donut Pans: Transfer the batter into a large resealable plastic bag and cut off one corner. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full. If you have only one pan, you may need to bake in two batches.
  5. Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the donuts are set and spring back when lightly pressed. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter if needed.
  6. Prepare Peanut Butter Glaze: While the donuts cool, microwave the creamy peanut butter in a shallow bowl for 45-60 seconds until it’s melted and smooth enough for dipping.
  7. Glaze Donuts: Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the melted peanut butter glaze twice to coat thoroughly, then invert them onto a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to catch drips. Optionally, sprinkle with your favorite sprinkles for added color and texture.
  8. Set and Serve: Serve the donuts immediately for a gooey peanut butter experience, or allow the glaze to set for about 30 minutes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Use a silicone spatula when folding in bananas to keep batter light and fluffy.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
  • Don’t overfill donut pans to avoid batter spilling over during baking.
  • Store baked donuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
  • Reheat donuts briefly in the microwave for a fresh-baked taste before serving.
