Start off your morning right with these delicious and easy cinnamon sugar banana donut holes. A great way to use up those ripe bananas sitting on the counter.
While working in the kitchen I noticed we still had a bunch of bananas that needed to be used. Instead of making banana bread, I decided to make these fun donut holes with cinnamon, sugar, and of course some mashed up bananas so they didn’t end up in the trash can.
Why I love these cinnamon sugar donut holes
- One bite – These donut holes are perfectly poppable. Fun for breakfast or a snack.
- Easy homemade recipe – No need for prepackaged muffins or donuts at the store. You can make these at home with just a few ingredients.
- Bananas – The perfect way to use up any leftover bananas from the week.
How to make baked cinnamon sugar banana donut holes
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mix together mashed banana, brown sugar, egg, vegetable oil, vanilla, butter extract, and milk,
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and then fill the muffin cups.
- After they finish baking, toss the muffins in melted butter and then a combination of cinnamon and sugar.
How to store
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. They will last 2-3 days. You could also keep them in the refrigerator to last a little longer. Warm in the microwave.
These muffins have just the perfect hint of banana and aren’t too sweet. Let me know if you make them in the comments below.
