Blueberry Banana Doughnuts

So I'm not really a big fan of baking, but sometimes my girlie instincts kick in and I just want to bake something; yesterday happened to be one of those days. I'm always looking for healthier versions of foods I like, so when I came across this recipe I decided to give it a try.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mashed Ripe Banana (about 2 small bananas)
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
  • 2 Eggs (Room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Blueberries

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325 F.

Step 2: Put mashed banana, sugar and yogurt into a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix until incorporated.

Step 3: Add melted butter, eggs and vanilla extract to the mix.

Step 4: Add flour, baking powder & soda and salt to the batter and mix until incorporated. Don't over mix.

Step 5: Using a spatula, fold in your blueberries. After mixed in, scoop batter into a piping bag (I used a plain Ziploc bag), snip the end (about the size of a dime).

Step 6: Grease your doughnut pan and pipe the batter until 3/4 full into each mold.

Step 7: Bake for 12-15 minutes. After, remove from pan and allow to cool before eating. 


So, the only doughnut baking sheet I have is heart-shaped, so that explains the weird shape. Also I added too much batter to my molds for the first batch, so that also explains why they look weird as well. Regardless of looks, they are delicious. Each muffin is only around 100 calories!! They are great as a snack or even part of your breakfast with some almond milk. My baking pan has 6 molds on it and the batter made about 4 whole batches with a few leftovers, so I have TONS!! For some extra sweetness, you can choose to top with some cinnamon sugar. Another way you can alter this recipe is by adding chocolate chips or other fruits. Try it out!

ENJOY!!
