Ingredients
Banana Donuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup agave nectar or honey
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons milk (2% or whole)
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mashed banana (measured after mashing, about 3-4 bananas)
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- Sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Banana Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the agave nectar, vegetable oil, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together with a rubber spatula until just combined. (Do not over mix.)
- Grease a donut pan. Pour the batter into each mold until they're filled.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts rest in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
