Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cup doughnut pan or 12-cup muffin pan with melted butter.
Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix bananas, peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined, then fold in coconut oil.
Bake: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pan, filling each mold ½ to ⅔ full. Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until set. Let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert the pan.
Prepare the Glaze:
- Glaze 1: Microwave 1 cup chocolate chips and 2 tbsp avocado oil in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Glaze 2: Microwave 1 cup chocolate chips and ⅓ cup milk in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.

Glaze & Decorate: Dip doughnuts into the glaze and decorate with chocolate sprinkles or crushed marshmallows. Enjoy!

Notes

These doughnuts can also be made in a muffin pan if you don’t have a doughnut pan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a sprinkle of sea salt to the glaze.
