Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Cinnamon sugar
- Chocolate glaze
Instructions
- Prepare the Oil: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Mash the Bananas: In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
- Make the Dough: Gradually add the self-rising flour to the mashed bananas and mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Form the Donut Holes: Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the Donut Holes: Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the donut holes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain and Drain: Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
- Add Toppings: While still warm, roll the donut holes in powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or drizzle with chocolate glaze if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- The donut holes are best served warm and fresh for the softest texture.
- If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.
- Fry the donut holes in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure they cook evenly.
- The dough is sticky, so using a cookie scoop or two spoons is the easiest way to drop the dough into the oil.
- You can customize the toppings to your taste. Try rolling the donut holes in sugar, adding a glaze, or even dipping them in melted chocolate.
