These delicious baked donuts are made with just four simple ingredients and are entirely plant-based. It’s a great alternative to my other donuts, like the Sweet Potato Donuts, Air Fryer Donut Holes, or Peanut Butter Donuts. Oven-baked and ready in just 20 minutes, they are a healthy and quick way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Each donut packs 7 grams of protein, making them a nutritious snack or dessert option. What makes this recipe special is its simplicity and the natural sweetness from ripe bananas, combined with the rich flavor of chocolate, resulting in a guilt-free indulgence that’s both delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Banana – The ripeness of your bananas will give the sweetness of the donuts. Very ripe bananas will make them quite sweet while greenish bananas will make them not sweet at all. Yogurt – I used coconut yogurt, but you can use any plant-based yogurt from cashew to soy yogurt. Self-Rising Flour – Self rising flour is a combination of all-purpose flour and baking powder. You can make your own if you don’t have the mix. I haven’t tried gluten-free flour for this recipe. Cocoa Powder – I like to use unsweetened cocoa powder as it’s healthier and I can control the sweetness with the ripeness of the bananas. You can also use cacao powder.
Chocolate Glaze
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – I like dark chocolate chips with at least 70% of cocoa. Soy Milk – You can use any plant-based milk you like, from coconut milk to almond milk, but soy milk brings a little bit more protein, so I like to use it.
