I’m not even sure that I need to say anything about this recipe. But because I’m told it’s good for search engines, here goes: These AIP banana bread doughnuts with creamy frosting are DA BOMB and you definitely cannot tell that they are free of grains, nuts, seeds, and (drumroll please)… EGGS! These fluffy doughnuts rise nicely without the help of any eggs!
I also love that there are no “weird” ingredients in these; coconut flour and tapioca starch are readily available at almost every health food store. Coconut milk is even available from most big-box grocery stores.
Did I mention that these amazingly fluffy and soft doughnuts are also vegan?! No gelatin in sight here! They’re also free of added sugars to make them sugar detox approved (don’t worry; I have included a tested variation for making them sweeter).
Stop sitting there and go make these!!

Instructions
Doughnuts:
- Preheat oven to 350° F and grease a standard-sized doughnut pan.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl and mix in the coconut cream, coconut oil, and vanilla.
- Add the tapioca, coconut flour, cinnamon, and baking soda.
- Divide between 5 doughnut “cups” in the doughnut pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
Frosting:
- Stir together all frosting ingredients and frost doughnuts.
- Doughnuts are best served after being chilled for a couple of hours (better texture).

Notes
This recipe is formulated for the 21 Day Sugar Detox; therefore it is not sweet. If you are not on the detox my tested variation is as follows: add 1/4 cup coconut sugar to doughnut batter and increase coconut flour to 1/3 cup. Add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (or you could use a little stevia) to the frosting. Nutrition data calculated without added sugars.[br][br]Even if not on a sugar detox, it is very important to use green-tipped bananas in this recipe because they are what is replacing eggs. This is not your typical overripe banana recipe!

These were awesome and not too sweet! The texture was like a dense chewy bread, which I like. Very easy recipe to put together. I did make the frosting, which I did not like at all. It came out too thick and weird tasting (maybe it was my expired coconut cream). However, I thought they were great without the frosting. Also, good warm or cold.
Thank you for sharing this!
Loved these. Not dry or gooey and not too sweet. They turn out great as muffins too.
Hello!
I have a question about coconut flour. The only coconut flour we can use is from Tropical Traditions. I know you said you only like Bob’s and Anthony’s (neither of which we can eat), but I was wondering if you’ve tried Tropical Traditions in particular.
Thanks,
Kathleen
I haven’t tried Tropical Traditions; it will probably work but as a very particular food blogger, I find that Bob’s and Anthony’s yield the best texture. But absolutely use what you can eat. 🙂
These hit the spot! I don’t make “treats” very often because I am suspicious of the recipes but this was excellent. Very moist but not gummy. I didn’t bother with the icing, added a teaspoon of coconut sugar, and, not owning a donut pan, I baked them in muffin tins (I made a dozen because that seemed like maybe it would be the same thickness as a small doughnut). Oh, and I’m allergic to cinnamon so I used 1 t. cloves and 1 t. ginger. I’m giving it 4 stars instead of five only because I didn’t actually follow the recipe well enough to feel like I can assess it as written 🙂
Thanks for your comment and your variations still sound delish; so glad you enjoyed them!
