Banana Chocolate Chip Donuts {Allergy-Friendly}

Do you know what’s harder than packing lunches? Making grab-and-go breakfast items that are allergy-friendly!

These Gluten Egg Dairy Nut Free Banana Chocolate Chip Donut Recipe-Baked- MOMables.comNutritious grab-and-go breakfast items that are homemade aren’t always easy to find. I do know that breakfast is an important meal because I want to  give my daughter nutritious foods that will help kick-start her day.

Unfortunately, I don’t always have time to sit around the table; instead, I’m packing lunches, trying to drink a cup of coffee, and tying her shoes while rushing out the  door to catch the bus or beat traffic.

The truth is that kids love donuts. Parents love donuts. Their round shape is iconic with mornings. They’re easy to eat on the go and can be made not only healthier but also allergy-friendly to help you get out the door on time.

You can make a batch of these over the weekend and freeze for future mornings. Just pull one the out of the freezer, let it stand at room temperature while you help get everyone out the door, and then toast for a few minutes.

Of course, you can enjoy them fresh! Another added bonus: They are baked.

This recipe is gluten-, nut-, dairy-, and egg-free.

  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, xanthan gum, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the banana, and mix until well combined.
  6. Add the chocolate chips, and mix again.
  7. Spoon the batter into the donut pan evenly, filling to the top.
  8. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool.
