What Is The Best Flour For These Donuts?
Banana chocolate chip donuts can be made with many different types of flours. While all-purpose flour is commonly used in cake donuts, it is absolutely not the only flour option. With these donuts, I decided to use oat flour. That way, they can be made completely gluten free if necessary. Just use your favorite gluten free rolled oats to make your oat flour. Simply pop the oats in the blender and blend for a few seconds until you get a fine oat flour texture. Then, you have the perfect dry flour base to make these gluten free banana chocolate chip baked donuts.
Now that we have covered a few important things to note for this recipe, let’s take a look at the list of ingredients you will need to make these baked banana chocolate chip donuts.
Baked Banana Chocolate Chip Donuts – Ingredients
- Oat Flour – The first ingredient you will need for this recipe is the oat flour. The oat flour is used as the key dry base ingredient for this recipe. I absolutely love using oat flour in baked goods because it helps prevent them from turning out super dense. Plus, it’s gluten free friendly. To make this recipe gluten free, just blend up your favorite gluten free rolled oats to form an oat flour.
- Overripe Bananas – You can’t have banana chocolate donuts without some overripe bananas. You are going to mash them up and add them to your donut batter. The mashed bananas add a ton of moisture and sweetness to this baked donuts recipe. If you like banana bread, you are going to love this baked donut recipe.
- Chocolate Chips – Chocolate chips are necessary for both the donut batter and chocolate donut glaze. You can use whichever kind you enjoy most. I used dark chocolate chips, but semi-sweet chocolate chips would also work.
- Rainbow Sprinkles – The rainbow sprinkles will be used as a topping for your donuts. They add sweetness and a ton of color to this recipe.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder acts as a leavening agent in this recipe to ensure your donuts rise nicely. It is an essential ingredient that you definitely don’t want to forget.
- Baking Soda – The baking soda serves as another key leavening agent used in this recipe.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon is a key spice which adds flavor to the donut batter.
- Oat Milk – The oat milk adds creaminess and moisture to this banana chocolate chip baked donuts recipe. I used vanilla oat milk, but you can use whatever kind you prefer or have on hand.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup adds a ton of flavor and sweetness to this recipe. It also helps all the ingredients come together to form a sweet donut batter.
- Melted Coconut Oil – The melted coconut oil is used in the donut batter for richness and moisture. It is also used in the chocolate glaze to create a drizzly, dippable consistency.
