Ingredients for Banana Doghnuts

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

How to Make Banana Doghnuts

  1. Peel and mash 3 ripe bananas in a medium bowl until completely smooth.
  2. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
  3. Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small amount of batter dropped in sizzles immediately.
  4. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the banana batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip them.
  6. **Caution:** Hot oil splatters! Maintain a safe distance while frying and use a splatter screen if available.
  7. Once cooked, remove the donuts from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm, if desired. Serve and enjoy your delicious Guam-style banana donuts!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
