Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, let it air fry or bake at 350ºF (177ºC) for 4 minutes.
  • To minimize food waste, make this recipe when you have overripe bananas.
  • Overripe bananas will work best for this recipe. If your bananas aren't ripe yet, you can air fry them at 350ºF (176ºC) for 10 to 12 minutes, with the peel on.
  • For a lumpy texture, use a fork to mash your bananas. Otherwise, blend your bananas for a smoother consistency.
  • If you don't have mold at home, lining your air fryer basket with parchment paper will do the trick. However, your donut holes will become flat.
  • You can substitute the cinnamon sugar for other toppings, such as powdered sugar or toasted coconuts.
  • If you want to save time, skip the coating process and simply dip the donuts in Nutella or whatever spread you have in your pantry.
  • I used a 6-quart air fryer to make this recipe. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time. Continue air frying until you achieve your desired finish.
