Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
Coating
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Approximately 2–3 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
Optional
- Melted chocolate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir together until a soft dough forms with no dry patches remaining.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands until smooth. If sticky, lightly rub a little oil on your hands to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Doughnuts: Divide the dough into two portions, then roll each into a long log about 1 inch thick. Cut each log into small pieces weighing approximately 8-12 grams, then roll each piece between your palms to form smooth doughnut balls.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes. Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent the doughnut bites from sticking.
- Air Fry the Doughnut Bites: Toss the doughnut balls in melted butter and place them in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between each ball to allow for expansion. Air fry for about 5 minutes until the bites are puffed and golden. Note that browning may be uneven, which is normal.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the doughnut bites are still warm, brush them again with melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture so the coating adheres well.
- Serve: Enjoy these light and fluffy donut bites plain or add a drizzle of melted chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- You can substitute self-raising flour with all-purpose flour if you add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder.
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based yogurt and vegan butter alternative.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if needed for even air circulation.
- Store leftover donut bites in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat briefly in the air fryer to crisp them up.
