Vegan Banana Bread Donuts (Gluten-Free + Paleo-Friendly)

I’ve been dying to break out my new donut pan, and these Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip BANANA BREAD donuts were the most perfect way to break this in. Made with simple ingredients + these healthy donuts are paleo friendly (sub peanut butter for almond butter or cashew butter), Gluten Free, dairy-free, and so DELICIOUS. You just need 10 minutes of prep & 15 minutes of bake time to have healthy breakfast donuts ready to go for a busy work week.

Healthy ingredients you need to make these amazing Vegan Banana Bread Donuts:

• 2 spotty bananas
• Flax Meal
• Coconut Oil
• Vanilla Extract
• Creamy Peanut Butter
• Maple syrup (optional)
• Baking powder
• Pink Salt

How to make a FLAX EGG to keep these banana bread donuts VEGAN:

Instead of eggs, I used the flax meal substitute. To make your very own flax egg simply mix:

1 tbsp flax meal + 3 tbsp water = 1 flax egg

Let this sit for at LEAST 5 min to thicken prior to mixing in & voilà! You have your vegan egg substitute. These use to intimidate me in baking, but they are incredibly simple to make and only require 5 minutes of your patience.

**1:1 substitute for eggs in any recipe**

Baking Tools:

• Donut Pan
• Mixing Bowls
• Measuring Spoons
