Banana Chocolate Chip Donuts

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. 🙂
