Description

These 2-ingredient Air Fryer Donut Bites are a quick and easy treat made with self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Air-fried to golden perfection, they offer a light, fluffy texture and a delightful cinnamon sugar coating with an optional chocolate drizzle for extra indulgence. Perfect for a snack or dessert, these bite-sized donuts combine minimal ingredients with maximum flavor and convenience.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
  • Butter (for tossing doughnuts before air frying and coating)
  • Optional: Melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir the mixture until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands until smooth, ensuring there are no dry patches of flour. If the dough feels sticky, rub a little oil on your hands to manage it more easily without sticking.
  3. Shape the Doughnuts: Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion into a long log about 1 inch thick. Using a dough scraper or knife, cut the logs into small pieces weighing roughly 8-12 grams each. Roll each piece gently between your palms to form smooth, round doughnut balls.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Air Fry the Doughnuts: Toss the doughnut balls in melted butter to coat them lightly, then place them spaced apart in the air fryer basket to allow expansion during cooking. Air fry for 5 minutes or until the doughnuts puff up and turn golden. Note that browning may be uneven, which is normal for air frying.
  7. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, coat the doughnuts again in melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture so the coating adheres perfectly.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these light and fluffy donut bites as they are or add an indulgent touch by dipping or drizzling them with melted chocolate.

Notes

  • Use sweetened Greek yogurt to add natural sweetness and moisture to the dough without extra sugar.
  • If the dough is sticky, gently oil your hands rather than adding more flour to keep the dough tender.
  • The air fryer provides quick cooking but may result in uneven browning; this does not affect flavor or texture.
  • For an extra treat, try dipping the finished donuts in melted chocolate or your favorite glaze.
  • Portion the doughnuts evenly for uniform cooking times and sizes.
