Ingredients

Optional for Toppings:

Instructions

  • Peel the large banana and add it to a medium mixing bowl. Thoroughly smash the banana using a fork.
  • Add the pancake mix to the bowl and stir until the ingredients start to clump together in large clumps.
  • Using rubber gloves, if desired, spray nonstick spray on hands (or gloves) and start to knead the ingredients together. Don’t overmix. Knead and mix with your hands until the dough all comes together. It will be a little sticky, this is perfectly fine.
  • Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon sized balls (about 1 inch), making sure to keep your hands or gloves well-greased.
  • Spray your air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and place as many of the dough balls as you can in the air fryer basket, spacing them about 1 inch apart as they will expand. I usually fit about 6 at a time in my 2-quart air fryer.
  • Air fry for 7 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully remove from the basket and repeat until all the dough has been used.
  • Coat the donut holes in a topping or eat immediately.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

  • If choosing to coat your donut holes in cinnamon and sugar, simply combine ¼ cup white granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir well.
  • Spray the donut holes with nonstick cooking spray right before rolling them thoroughly in the cinnamon and sugar mixture. I do a couple at a time. Enjoy!

Banana Glaze:

  • If you’re choosing to coat your donut holes in the banana glaze, add a small banana to a small bowl and mash thoroughly using a fork.
  • Add the powdered sugar to the banana and stir until fully combined.
  • Drop the donut holes in the glaze and fully coat them before scooping them out with a fork. Rest on parchment paper or a plate. Enjoy!
