2 Ingredient Air Fryer Donut Bites Recipe

Introduction

These 2 Ingredient Air Fryer Donut Bites are a quick and delightful treat perfect for any time of day. Made with just self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt, they come out light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Enjoy them plain or with a drizzle of melted chocolate for a little extra indulgence.

Ingredients

• 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
• 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Melted chocolate for drizzling
• Butter, melted (approximately 2-3 tablespoons for brushing)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir them together until a soft dough forms with no dry patches.
2. Step 2: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently with your hands until smooth. If sticky, rub a little oil on your hands to avoid sticking.
3. Step 3: 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 and roll each piece between your palms to form smooth doughnut balls.
4. Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes. Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
5. Step 5: Toss the doughnut balls in melted butter and place them in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each ball for expansion. Air fry for about 5 minutes until the bites are puffed and golden. Note that browning may be uneven, which is normal.
6. Step 6: While the doughnut bites are still warm, brush them with melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture so the coating sticks well.
7. Step 7: Enjoy these light and fluffy donut bites plain or drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.

Tips & Variations

• Use lightly sweetened Greek yogurt to avoid adjusting the sugar amount too much.
• If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands and workspace with a little extra flour while shaping.
• Try rolling the bites in powdered sugar or cocoa powder as a variation.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a suitable butter alternative.

Storage

Store leftover donut bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them gently in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to regain their crispness and freshness. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use plain Greek yogurt instead of sweetened?

Can I bake these instead of air frying?

Yes, bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary depending on your oven.
