Banana Chocolate Chip Donuts. It’s been a while since I posted a sweet recipe. So I am sharing these banana chocolate chip donuts.
If you don’t know already, I have a sweet tooth. So in order to get my sweet fix, I need to create healthier alternatives. This banana chocolate chip donut recipe is one way to curb a sweet tooth.
These Banana Donuts are:
- vegan
- oil free
- naturally sweetened
- simple to make
I may have gone a little over board with the chips. It’s all good though. These are healthy enough to eat for a breakfast and they should keep you satiated for quite sometime.
This recipe was supposed to be called Apple Donuts, but I realized I was short on applesauce so I had to improvise by adding banana.
I make a big batch of these so I have some to freeze, some to snack on and some for my father-in-law who loves to taste test these recipes. 🙂
