Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a small bowl add maple syrup, vanilla, and banana. Mash banana with a fork or with a potato masher until well combined. Add melted butter and mix well. Whisk in egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and cool in fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add vegetable oil to a sauce pan so that it is about 3-4 inches deep for frying. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees. Use a thermometer to ensure temp and that your oil isn't getting too hot. Once it's 350 degrees turn heat down to medium low.
- Meanwhile, once dough has chilled, remove from fridge and then roll out into 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls. Use flour to coat hands to work with dough because it will be sticky. Add to parchment paper lined tray.
- Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
- Add dough balls, only 4 at a time, to the hot oil and let cook for 3-4 minutes for 1 to 1 1/2 inch balls. For larger balls, cook longer. Use a slotted spoon to turn balls in the oil while they cook to ensure even cooking.
- With a slotted spoon, remove donut holes and add to paper towel lined plate.
- Cook in batches of 4 until all are done.
- Prep Cinnamon Sugar Coating and Maple Sugar Glaze by adding ingredients to separate small bowls.
- If using Maple Syrup Glaze, add wire rack to parchment lined baking sheet and add munchkins to wire rack before glazing.
- If using Cinnamon Sugar coating, roll munchkins in cinnamon sugar.
- Enjoy!!

Notes
- The nutritional value is approximately per donut hole.
- Glaze and Cinnamon Sugar Coating amounts are if you are splitting batch. Double each to do a full batch of each topping. But doing both is fun to have a mix!
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to a week.
