Description

These Air Fryer Greek Yogurt Donuts are a light, fluffy treat made with wholesome ingredients and cooked quickly in an air fryer for a healthier twist on classic donuts. With a tender crumb and subtle vanilla flavor, they’re perfect for breakfast or a guilt-free snack topped with powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional)

  • 2 teaspoons Powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar mix


Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
  3. Incorporate wet and dry: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to ensure tender donuts.
  4. Prepare donut pan: Lightly grease a silicone or metal donut pan that fits inside your air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
  5. Fill molds: Spoon the batter into the donut molds, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for rising during cooking.
  6. Air fry donuts: Place the donut pan in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F (160°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the donuts turn golden and spring back when lightly touched, indicating they are cooked through.
  7. Cool and finish: Remove the donuts from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar mixture for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Ensure the donut pan fits comfortably in your air fryer before starting.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your specific air fryer model.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
  • Serve the donuts fresh for best texture, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
