Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted (coconut oil or dairy-free butter stick)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup overripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup gluten-free all purpose flour (or regular flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (coconut oil or dairy-free butter stick) for topping

  4. Add your flour, baking powder, and salt to the same bowl. Stir together until you have a smooth and thick donut batter.

  6. Bake in the oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the top feels springy to touch.
  7. Let the donuts cool slightly before adding the topping.
  8. To make the topping, add your sugar and cinnamon to a shallow bowl and stir them together.
  9. Lightly brush each donut with melted butter.
