Step 2

Mash the banana into a smooth puree to make sure you get 1/2 cup or the donut batter won't come together with the same ratio of flour.

Step 4

Then oil your hands and knead with your slightly oiled hands to form a dough ball. The dough is sticky and moist, but that's normal don't over-add flour!

Step 5

Once the dough ball is formed, grease your hands again, grab about a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on a plate covered with parchment paper.

Step 6

Repeat Step 5 until all the dough has been turned into balls. Spray avocado oil on top of the balls.

Step 7

Air fry for 6-7 minutes, making sure to leave about 1 inch of space between each ball, as they will expand. They should look puffy and golden brown. They will have a rocky shape and be dry outside, and some will not be as round as balls; that's normal!

Step 8

To make these banana bread balls taste like donuts, brush each warm ball with melted butter using a pastry brush. Then, roll the warm, buttered balls into cinnamon sugar to coat evenly.
