Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
Coating
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Melted butter for brushing and coating
Optional
- Melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands until smooth and no dry flour patches remain. Rub a little oil on your hands if the dough is sticky to manage it better.
- Shape the Doughnuts: Divide dough into two portions. Roll each into a long log approximately 1 inch thick. Using a dough scraper or knife, cut into small pieces weighing around 8-12 grams each. Roll each piece between your palms to form smooth, round donut balls.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare Basket: Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Coat Doughnuts: Toss the doughnut balls in melted butter before placing them into the basket, ensuring you leave enough space between each as they will expand while cooking.
- Air Fry: Air fry the doughnuts at 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes or until they puff up and appear golden. Note that they may not brown evenly, which is normal for air frying.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, brush the doughnuts with melted butter again and immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture so the sugar adheres well.
- Serve: Enjoy the donut bites as is or drizzle with melted chocolate for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Use sweetened Greek yogurt as it adds subtle sweetness and moisture.
- If dough is sticky, lightly oil your hands instead of adding more flour to avoid drying out the dough.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; space ensures even cooking and puffiness.
- The donut bites won’t brown evenly in the air fryer, but they will still taste delicious and be cooked through.
- Try adding the optional chocolate drizzle for an extra sweet treat.
- These donut bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated briefly in the air fryer.
