Ingredients

  • 3 bananas (I love to use some of the bananas from my freezer for this!)
  • 1 egg (room temperature)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 and 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 and 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Before you start, you might need to warm up your egg if it's cold from the fridge.  Put it in a small bowl and cover with warm-hot water.  Let it sit for a few minutes and repeat. 
  • If you're using frozen bananas, defrost them and mash with a fork.
  • In a large bowl, combine bananas, egg, yogurt, honey and vanilla.  Whisk well to mix.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda and salt.  Mix well.  Add to wet ingredients and use a large spatula to mix gently until *just* combined.  If you overmix the batter the donuts will be tough.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spray donut pan with non-stick spray and spoon batter into each donut well.  I used around 2 tablespoons of batter for each donut.  Don't overfill - they will rise.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a donut comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack.  These donuts freeze well.
  • Enjoy! :)

Notes

*If you want to use regular muffin tins instead of a donut pan, bake for around 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
If you want to use mini-muffin tins instead of a donut pan, bake for around 12 minutes.
