It was my first time making donuts; and it couldn’t have been simpler! You could eat them all cause they are DELICIOUS!! But one fills you up for sure 😋
So happy to hear that, Sabin! All about easy and delish recipes over here. Nothing complicated. Thank you for your comment and review. 🙂 – Krista <3
This was my first time making donuts, and this recipe was perfect!!! I was shocked how great the texture was (this was the first time I’ve made a GF donut!), and they are the perfect size!
Not too sweet, but not bitter. And absolutely hit the spot when you’re craving a donut but can’t have the gluten!
Love to hear this, Chelsea! I am so happy you enjoyed the doughnuts. 🙂 – Krista <3
Is six stars a thing? It should be. The batter tastes sooo good so before you even bake them you know they're going to be amazing!!!! I used my mini donut pan and it made approx 25 mini donuts with this recipe. They came out so cute! Adjusted the bake time to approx 7-8 min in the oven due their very small size. Frozen bananas is always where I go when I want a recipe I trust to actually work the first time I try it. I made this entire recipe during my lunch break today, so you know it's good xoxo
This might be the best comment I've ever received! Thank you so much, Lindsay! I appreciate your support so much and I am so happy you loved the donuts. 🙂 - Krista <3
