2 Ingredient Air Fryer Donut Bites Recipe
Introduction
These 2 Ingredient Air Fryer Donut Bites are a quick and simple treat that’s light, fluffy, and perfectly coated in cinnamon sugar. Made with just self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt, they come together in minutes and cook beautifully in the air fryer.
Ingredients
- 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Optional: melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Step 2: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. If sticky, rub a little oil on your hands to manage the dough without sticking.
- Step 3: Divide the dough into two portions and roll each into a long log about 1 inch thick. Cut each log into small pieces weighing 8-12 grams and gently roll each into smooth balls.
- Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly brush the basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Step 5: Toss the doughnut balls in melted butter, then place them in the air fryer basket with space between each. Air fry for 5 minutes or until puffed and golden. Note that browning may be uneven, which is normal.
- Step 6: While warm, coat the doughnuts in melted butter and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to ensure it sticks well.
- Step 7: Serve them as is or drizzle with melted chocolate for a richer treat.
Tips & Variations
- Do not over-knead or add extra flour, as this can make the doughnuts less fluffy.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the doughnuts at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes, then coat with butter and cinnamon sugar.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt with a plant-based alternative and use a vegan butter substitute for coating.
Storage
Store the donut bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the air fryer or oven to restore their crispness before serving. These treats are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use plain Greek yogurt instead of sweetened?
Yes, but you may want to add a tablespoon of sugar or honey to the dough to maintain the sweetness.
What if I don’t have self-raising flour?
You can make your own by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
