Air Fryer Banana Almond Flour Donut Holes (No Added Sweetness option)


brown doughnut holes on a white plate with a knit-textured cloth underneath, creating a cozy and appetizing scene.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Coconut oil spray (for the air fryer)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:

    • In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

    • Add almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined into a thick batter.

  2. Shape the Donut Holes:

    • Scoop out a tablespoon of batter and roll it into a ball with your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more almond flour. Repeat until all the batter is used.

  3. Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.

  4. Cook the Donut Holes:

    • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil.

    • Place the donut holes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is space between each one.

    • Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

  5. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the donut holes cool for a few minutes in the air fryer basket before removing them.

    • Serve warm and enjoy the natural sweetness from the bananas.

Prompt

You know these Facebook short videos that pop up? I am following this guy who does keto recipes, and he created a recipe for donut holes with yogurt and almond oil in the air fryer. I was pretty sure I could try to use bananas.. And I wanted something that wasn't fried and waddler friendly. Asking ChatGPT:

I have some very very ripe bananas. I saw a recipe for donut holes with almond flour and yogurt in the air fryer. Can you suggest something with bananas instead of yogurt as the binding material?

It was very encouraging:

Using very ripe bananas as a binding material is a great idea! The bananas' natural sweetness and moisture will help hold the donut holes together while adding flavor. Here's a modified recipe for air-fried banana almond flour donut holes:  Banana Almond Flour Donut Holes (Air Fryer) Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour 2 very ripe bananas, mashed 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips (optional) Coconut oil spray (for the air fryer)

I wasn't too happy about the chopped nuts because my picky eater would refuse that. So I asked:

No added sweetness and no nuts. I'm making this for picky eaters
