Choc Banana Donuts
I originally found this recipe here, at Janie’s Kitchen. I have tweaked it and altered it to use my pantry staples and to suit the Thermomix.
There is this lady I have become friends with recently who knows me so well! She has brought (and shared) bubbles, recipes, delicious dips and DONUT PANS!! Thank you Lauren ❤ I have immense gratitude for these amazing and like minded women who have come into my life over the past few years – ‘My Tribe’. I love you all so much – I made you some donuts. 🙂
I may or may not have eaten 4 for lunch.
I will never tell.

Lovely Little Coconuts 
Do you think I could change the spelt flour out for gluten free flour? These look fantastic!
Thank you! They are pretty good! Big hit with the family! Honestly, I have only worked with GF flour once before and I tried to make bread and it was a dismal failure! 😉 The only thing I can suggest is to give it a try? If you are used to using it you would be more familiar with how it ‘behaves’ than I am. My next intended project is to try a coconut flour donut recipe which will be gluten free, so stay tuned for that one. If you try the GF flour, can you let me know how it goes? x
I just bought a mini donut maker today. I can’t wait to try these! It’ll make a nice change for the kids lunchboxes instead of banana muffins.
Let me know what you think? x
Next purchase it Donut pan !!!!!
Yes!!! Do it!!! x
Can’t wait to try these and looking forward to the coconut flour version as well.
How many donut pans will this recipe fill? I recently bought 2 pans and can’t wait to use them!!
Thank you! I used one pan, but it was just a little too much mixture and I lost the ‘holes’ on most of them 😉 I think you could probably stretch it to one and a half pans? Let me know x
What could I use instead of a donut pan?I want to make them soon!! They look amazing and I have some lovely organic spelt flour waiting to be used up!
You could use a muffin tray? Just adjust the cooking time. Let me know how you go? x
Great, will be making these for morning tea!! Will let you know the verdict 🙂
My gosh!! They are amazing! So good to know that I can have cinnamon donuts again! Thanks for a great recipe 🙂
Thanks so much, I had never heard of a donut pan before, but instantly had to buy one! Donuts were beautiful and my two little girls were very excited. I got about 2 1/2 pans out of the mix.
Thank you for your feedback! I love to hear your stories 🙂 So glad you liked them x
