Preparation

  2. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl until almost smooth; small lumps are okay.
  3. Add the self-rising flour to the mashed bananas and fold gently until just combined.
  4. Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon to portion dough into rounded balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Press the tops lightly so they are donut-hole shaped.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the tops are set and have a faint golden edge.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  3. If using coatings, roll warm donut holes in cinnamon sugar, dip in melted chocolate, or brush with a thin lemon glaze.
