If you’ve ever had overripe bananas staring at you from the counter, begging not to become yet another loaf of banana bread, I’ve got you covered. Enter: 3 Ingredient Banana Donuts—your new go-to for baking ideas with bananas that are quick, fun, and ridiculously good. These little rings of joy are light, fluffy, and the dough? Takes literally five minutes to whip up. No yeast, no butter, no added sugar, and definitely no bland snacks here.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Donuts without eggs, flour, or sugar—are these even real? Oh, they’re real. And they taste just as good as traditional donuts. IMO, even better because you can enjoy them without that “why did I just eat three?” guilt trip. They’re the perfect middle ground between non sweet treats and healthy yummy deserts.
What I love most about this recipe is how kid-friendly it is. Seriously, it’s one of those healthy baking ideas for kids where they can mash, mix, and help shape the donuts with almost zero mess (okay, maybe some banana on the walls, but that’s part of the fun). Plus, they make awesome after-school snacks if you’re tired of the same old bland snacks.
Got bananas that are too soft for slicing but too good to toss? These donuts are the answer. In fact, if you’re always Googling overripe banana recipes simple, this will save you. Think of it as the upgrade your fruit bowl deserves.
Whether you’re after easy homemade savory snacks (yes, you can even get creative with toppings) or just want low ingredient baking that doesn’t break the bank, these donuts are a win. Freshly fried, warm, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—honestly, what’s not to love about treats with bananas that feel like a bakery-level indulgence but come together in minutes?

These banana donuts are wonderfully airy and soft, and you only need three simple ingredients to whip them up. The whole process takes just minutes from start to finish.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (60 g) whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- ¾ tsp (3.5 g) baking powder
- ⅓ cup (88 g) mashed ripe banana
- Extra virgin olive oil, for frying
Directions
- Pour about 2 inches of oil into a medium-sized saucepan and warm it over medium heat. Aim for 335–350°F, but avoid going hotter since olive oil has a lower smoke point.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, whisking until well blended. Add the mashed banana and stir with a spatula until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Once the oil is hot enough, use a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. Carefully drop each scoop into the pan. Don’t overcrowd—work in batches if needed. The donuts will float on the surface, but if any stick to the bottom, loosen them right away with your utensil.
- Fry until golden on both sides, flipping halfway through cooking. Transfer the finished donuts to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb extra oil.
- After they cool slightly, enjoy them plain or coat them with sugar—or get creative with your favorite donut toppings!
