These Strawberry Banana Donuts are made with fresh fruit and yogurt. They are a healthier alternative to traditional donuts with half the sugar and baked not fried. They will give you the sweetest start to your day!
Donuts, oh gosh I love them! I live by one of the best donut shops in OC, OLIBOLI, its a blessing and a curse. I love to splurge on a deep-fried donut every once in a while. But it’s noting it is nothing would make it a habit of. I created these Strawberry Banana Donuts for a quick and easy breakfast. Now that the schools have shut down for the rest of the school year three meals, three times a day plus snacks oh my goodness its a lot! And that’s coming from a girl who loves to cook and create!
This whole ‘stay at home order’ has been a giant learning experience. There has been a lot of good and also a lot of rough patches along the way. We are now in week 4 and I am just starting to get the hang of a somewhat normal routine. The hardest part for me has just been the exhaustion the first trimester of pregnancy brings and with the kids home 24/7 there is no rest for this mama! Trying to make things easier on myself by doing a lot of make ahead meals. These Strawberry-banana donuts are perfect for a quick snack or breakfast.
Making food ahead of time sure does lessen the number of dishes needing to be done too!
How to make Strawberry Banana Donuts
I choose to use simple ingredients. I love the addition of yogurt to baked goods its gives so much flavor and also keeps things moist!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a standard size donut pan.
- Start by combining your dry ingredients, flour, salt, and baking powder, then set aside.
- Next, mash your banana and half of your strawberries. Stir in egg, vanilla, yogurt, and coconut oil.
- Stir the yogurt mixture into the flour mixture along with the remaining strawberries till combined.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared pan, smoothing out the tops with a greased spoon.
- Bake donuts for 17-20 minutes or until the top is firm to touch. Let donuts cool 5 minutes before removing them from pan. Once removed from pan let them cool completely.
- For the frosting beat together your cream cheese and honey. Drizzle or spread donuts with frosting.

What kind of plain yogurt do you like to use (Full fat, low fat, fat free, Greek) and there a certain brand you like that works well in this recipe?
I use 2% Greek yogurt! It also makes these more dense but still delish!!!
