Ingredients

1 ½ cups Self-Rising Flour (note 1)
¼ cup Light Olive Oil (note 2)
1 ⅓ cups Mashed Banana (note 3)

To coat

½ cup Unrefined Cane Sugar
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
3 tablespoons Light Olive Oil in a spray bottle

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Oil generously two 12-hole mini muffin pans with cooking oil.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas, pack them in a measuring cup to get the exact amount. If you mash too much banana, freeze it, and use it in a smoothie later.
Add olive oil and self-rising flour, and use a rubber spatula to stir and form a sticky banana muffin batter.
Use a small cookie dough scoop to fill each muffin hole up to 3/4 their level.
Bake the donut holes for 20-22 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In a small bowl, prepare the cinnamon sugar: stir sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Flip the pan upside down on a cooling rack and let them cool for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, place the olive oil in a oil spray bottle, (or use a pastry brush).
Spray oil all over the mini muffin, or use a pastry brush to lightly brush each mini muffin and immediately roll it into the cinnamon sugar.
They will look like mini banana muffins coated with cinnamon sugar but taste like donut holes.

Notes

Note 1: You can replace the self-rising flour with 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour + 3 teaspoons of baking powder. The recipe hasn't been tested with all-purpose gluten-free flour, I can't guarantee it delivers a great taste/texture. The recipe won't work with almond flour or oat flour.

Note 2: Any low-flavor oil works, like canola oil or refined coconut oil.

Note 3: Make sure you use ripe bananas with black spots on their skin for the best sweetness.
