TOPPING OPTIONS

Instructions

If you’re using a donut pan, preheat the oven to 350°F; if you’re using an electric mini-donut maker, plug it in to preheat.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the banana, pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, coconut milk, and vinegar together. Sift in the dry ingredients and continue to whisk to combine. Alternatively, for a smoother consistency than whisking by hand allows, you can combine all ingredients in a food processor or high-speed blender.

Put the batter in a plastic zip-top bag and snip off a small corner (or use a pastry bag). Grease the pan right before filling each slot. Pipe the batter to fill the donut pans approximately half-full, as the donuts will rise when baking. Add toppings to the donuts before baking.

If using a donut pan (as pictured): Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

If using a mini-donut maker: Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then repeat until all of the batter is used up (about 3 batches). Re-grease the donut maker before each round.

Notes

EQUIPMENT TIP

This recipe requires a 6-slot standard donut pan or an electric mini-donut maker (with slots for 7 mini donuts).
