Description
Light, fluffy, and coated in a sweet, sparkling finish, these 4-Ingredient Air Fryer Donuts cook up golden brown in just 5 minutes with zero deep-frying required! Made with simple pantry staples, they give you that irresistible bakery-style treat with minimal effort and a fraction of the oil.
Anti-Inflammatory Highlights
Air-Fried Preparation: Eliminates the need for inflammatory deep-frying oils while still achieving a crisp, golden exterior.
Greek Yogurt Base: Adds clean, bioavailable protein, calcium, and gut-supporting probiotics to keep the dough tender without excess saturated fat.
Ingredients
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
1/3 cup granulated sugar (or zero-calorie sugar substitute, plus optional 1/2 tsp cinnamon or unsweetened shredded coconut for coating)
Instructions
1. Make the Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the self-rising flour and plain nonfat Greek yogurt until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4 to 5 times until smooth.
2. Shape the Donuts: Roll or pat the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter (or drinking glass) to cut out circles, then use a bottle cap or small round cutter to punch out the center holes.
3. Air Fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray. Arrange the donuts in a single layer without touching and air fry for 4 to 5 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
4. Coat & Serve: While still warm, brush each donut lightly with the melted butter, then dip or toss in the sugar (or cinnamon-sugar/coconut coating) until evenly coated. Serve warm and enjoy immediately!
