– Try to roll your donut holes into small, evenly sized balls. This helps them cook at the same speed, so you don’t end up with some that are burnt while others are raw inside.

– You can either fry or bake your banana donut holes, and each method gives a different result. Frying makes them golden, slightly crispy, and more like classic donuts.

Ingredients you need to make :

– Ripe bananas are the star of this recipe and provide natural sweetness, moisture, and a soft texture.
