How do you make banana donuts in the air fryer?

Mix mashed ripe banana with self‑rising flour or pancake mix, form small balls, preheat air fryer to ~350 °F (175 °C), and cook for 6–8 minutes until golden. Brush with oil and roll in cinnamon sugar or glaze.

How to make air fry donut holes?

Use the same method with banana-pancake mix dough, shape dough balls, air fry spaced apart at 350 °F for around 7 minutes, then top as desired.

Can you air fry donuts instead of frying them?

Yes! Air frying uses less oil and gives crispy edges without deep‑frying. These banana donut holes are a great alternative to traditional deep‑fried donuts.

How do you air fry banana splits?

While this recipe uses banana mash in dough, banana splits would require slicing bananas, layering with ice cream and toppings—air frying bananas alone may caramelize them, but for full splits stick to assembly rather than air frying the whole dessert.
