Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Dough:
- 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional:
- Melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 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, ensuring there are no dry patches of flour. If the dough feels sticky, rub a little oil on your hands to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Doughnuts: Divide the dough into two portions and roll each into a long log about 1-inch thick. Cut the logs into small pieces weighing about 8-12 grams each and roll each piece between your palms into smooth doughnut balls.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Toss the doughnut balls lightly in melted butter and place them spaced evenly in the basket to allow expansion during cooking.
- Air Fry the Doughnuts: Air fry the doughnut bites for 5 minutes or until they are puffed and golden. Note that the browning may be uneven, which is normal for air frying.
- Finish with Cinnamon Sugar: While the doughnuts are still warm, brush them with melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture so the coating sticks perfectly.
- Optional Drizzle: Once coated, optionally drizzle the donut bites with melted chocolate for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use sweetened Greek yogurt for best flavor and texture.
- If dough is sticky, lightly oil your hands for easier shaping.
- Do not overcrowd air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Donut bites are best served warm for a soft texture and optimal taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly before serving.
