Ingredients in healthy paleo cinnamon banana donuts

I am all about simplicity and ease, so don’t worry, you won’t need to go to the supermarket and buy a lot of expensive baking ingredients. You probably have most of these ingredients in your pantry already!

You’ll only need a few, simple ingredients to get this easy recipe going! Eight ingredients to be exact. Here is a list of exactly what you’ll need to make the fluffiest healthy paleo cinnamon banana donuts:

• Wet Ingredients:
  • Banana
  • Egg
  • Almond Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract

• Dry Ingredients
  • Almond flour
  • Baking powder
  • Ground cinnamon

Any brand of these ingredients will work, I just recommended my favorites!

Have unripened bananas? No worries!

Brown bananas are best for baking because they offer natural sweetness, unlike very yellow or green bananas. You can still make this recipe with unripe bananas! I’ll teach you how:

To quickly ripen a banana, simply stick it in the oven at 350 F for 2 – 3 minutes! Then, remove the peel and place the banana on a lined baking sheet, and put it back into the oven for another 2 – 3 minutes until it is soft, gooey, and looks like a mashed banana.

How to make healthy paleo cinnamon banana donuts

These healthy paleo cinnamon banana donuts are super easy to make. You seriously do not need to be a professional baker or cook by any means. It’s so easy that you could most likely do it with your eyes closed. I promise. Here, I’ll walk you through the steps.

First, preheat your oven to 350F.

Then, grease a donut mold with avocado spray or baking spray. If you have an older mold, I recommend cutting out a little circle from parchment paper so the top of the donut does not stick.

Next, in a small bowl, whisk the egg with a fork.

Now, in a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork. It should be completely mushy and have NO chunks.

Once the banana is mashed, add in the whisked egg, almond butter, vanilla extract, maple syrup. Mix until fully combined.

Next, you fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula. Add the almond flour, cinnamon, and baking powder to the large bowl until fully combined.

Evenly divide and spoon the batter into the greased donut mold. I made 6 donuts!

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and enjoy you perfect fluffy paleo cinnamon banana donuts!

How to store healthy paleo cinnamon banana donuts

One of the best things about this delicious healthy paleo banana donut recipes is that you can bake them on the weekend and they will last you all week! Perfect for meal prep and busy people.

For best results, store in a covered airtight container in at room temperate for 4 – 6 days or in the fridge from 5 – 7 days.

I like eating my donuts both warm and at room temperature! Depending on what you like, you can either heat up in the microwave for 20 seconds or enjoy straight from storage.
