Wow look at these Slimming Eats Baked Banana Doughnuts!!!
Since I finally got my doughnut tray last week I have been enjoying making delicious doughnuts for treats.
So far you will of seen my yummy White Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts and my Chocolate Doughnuts.
I then came across this delicious recipe for Baked Banana Doughnuts from An Affair From the Heart and made up a batch for the kids as I had some ripe bananas in my fruit bowl that needed to be used up. The ingredients were pretty high calorie though, so not Slimming Eats friendly for me. The kids really enjoyed them and said they tasted amazing.
So I thought I am sure I can make some alterations and came up with these Slimming Eats friendly Delicious Baked Banana Doughnuts.
As per my previous doughnut recipes. I used a tray similar to this one here:
Städter 489141 Baking Tray with Donut Moulds
You will need one that has doughnuts moulds 7cm in diameter by 2cms high, for the same quantity of doughnuts. The really mini ones will work, but the yield of doughnuts will differ.
To sweeten I have used Sukrin : 1 (watch this space for my review of some sukrin products coming very soon). It is a natural sweetener and it has none of that horrible aftertaste you sometimes get with sweeteners. I have tried many different types in the past trying to find one that is natural and tastes natural and I think this is it. I usually just use some honey or maple syrup, but it's nice to know I can now use this and reduce the calories even further. Instead of sukrin you can use any sweetener of choice of course. But I recommend sukrin if you can get some.
Sukrin can be ordered on amazon.

for those in Canada, I am told Sukrin will be readily available to us in the Fall.
For the sugar cinnamon coating I used a mixture of Sukrin Gold and cinnamon. Another alternative for this would be a little dusting of icing sugar on top.
If you don't have a doughnut tray I am sure this doughnut mixture would work in a muffin tray. If you try, please come back and let me know how they turned out (or even better tag me @slimmingeats on Instagram with a pic)

I made these tonight and it went terribly wrong! The mixture cooked perfectly but one they had filled they sank totally flat! Was like a rolled out doughnut! Where did I go wrong!?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
It sounds like you may of take them out just a little bit too early. I make these regularly in quite a few different variations which you will find on the blog and I've not had that happen. Do you blend the oats too?
Jo says
Hi there. Love you're recipes by the way! Just a clarification please. At the top of the recipe it says it's 1 HAb and 2.5 syns for 3 doughnuts and at the bottom it says 1 Hab and 1.5 syns for 3 doughnuts?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
hi the value in the recipe box is correct. Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
Joanne says
Could you use ready Brek instead of blitzed oats?
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
I don't recommend using ready brek, as I think it will affect the bake. Ready brek tends to yield a much more stodgy result as it is not 100% just oats.
Natalie Hall says
Is there anything else to use but cinnamon? Or could it be left out? Excited to try!!
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
if you don't like cinnamon you can just leave out.
Debbie says
Made these today in my cake pop maker. Got 24 little balls of yumminess. My HEb always has to be cereal for breakfast, my day isn't the same without it. So I worked these out at a syn per ball. Delicious!
