Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, pure maple syrup or honey, and oil or water. Whisk until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Divide the batter among the greased donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. Allow to cool for a few minutes before gently releasing donuts from the pan onto a wire rack.
  7. Once cooled, add your desired toppings and enjoy!
