Description
These baked Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Donuts are my new favorite way to enjoy banana bread! They are made with my favorite blend of grain-free flours, smashed banana, chocolate chips, and perfectly sweetened with maple sugar to keep these healthy donuts refined sugar-free!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plant milk (such as flax, oat, almond, soy, etc.)
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup cassava flour (*see notes below)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup maple sugar (may sub with coconut sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup grapeseed/avocado oil
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
In a glass bowl or measuring cup whisk together the plant milk and apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 10 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a large bowl, stir together the cassava flour, almond flour, coconut flour, maple/coconut sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl add the bananas and smash them with a fork. Then add the vanilla, oil, and vegan buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture and stir just enough to form a batter. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Lightly spray a donut baking pan with oil (it helps if you have 2 donut pans), then fill a piping bag with the batter (or you can use a gallon plastic bag with the tip cut off) and pipe the batter into a donut baking pan. Tap the donut pan on the counter until all the batter is level and bake 15 minutes. Let the donuts cool for about 20-30 minutes before enjoying. Store uncovered on your counter for up to 2 days, then transfer to the fridge or freezer and warm slightly before enjoying.
Notes
*Bob’s Red Mill, Otto’s, or Let’s Do Organic cassava flour works best. Not all cassava flours are equal!
