Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of **2-Ingredient Banana Donut Holes**. You’ll be wondering how you ever went without them! ## Why You’ll Love This Recipe ### Quick and Easy Ever had one of those days where you just can’t even? I feel you!

Talk about quick kitchen magic! ### Minimal Ingredients Who doesn’t like going into the kitchen with the bare minimum? With just two ingredients—trust me, **two**—you’ll feel like a culinary genius. ### Healthy-ish Indulgence Okay, I won’t lie, these aren’t kale chips. But using bananas means you’re getting a bit of the good stuff while still indulging. Plus, you know what they say: **a banana a day keeps the doctor away**. Well, sort of. 🍌 ## Let’s Get to It: Ingredients and Method ### Ingredients So, what do you need for these heavenly donut holes? - **2 ripe bananas:** The riper, the better! Think brown spots and all that sweetness. - **1 cup of self-rising flour:** This is the secret weapon. If you don’t have self-rising flour, no worries! You can substitute it with regular flour plus a pinch of baking powder and salt. ### Method Now let’s jump into the fun part! Making these donut holes is as simple as one, two, three (well, two ingredients, but you get it): 1. **Mash the Bananas:** Grab those ripe bananas and mash them up in a bowl. You can use a fork; it’s super therapeutic. Seriously, give it a little love. 2. **Mix in the Flour:** Add in your self-rising flour. Stir until you’ve created a dough. It should be slightly sticky but manageable. Trust me, elbow grease is not required here! 3. **Form the Donut Holes:** Now for the fun part! Use your hands to shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. It’s totally okay if they aren’t perfect; the less perfect they are, the more rustic charm they have, right? 4. **Bake (or Fry):** Preheat your oven to **350°F** (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the donut holes on the sheet and bake for **15-20 minutes** until golden. If you’re feeling adventurous, fry them instead for that classic donut texture (just be careful not to burn the kitchen down!).
