Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough:
- 140 g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 140 g (5 oz) sweetened Greek yogurt
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Optional:
- Melted chocolate for drizzling
- Melted butter for brushing
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 until smooth and free of dry flour patches. If sticky, lightly oil your hands to handle the dough easily.
- Shape the Doughnuts: Divide the dough into two portions and roll each into a 1-inch thick log. Cut into small pieces weighing about 8-12g each and roll into smooth balls between your palms.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) and preheat for 5 minutes. Lightly brush the basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Air Fry the Doughnut Bites: Toss doughnut balls in melted butter and arrange them in the basket with space between each. Air fry for about 5 minutes until puffed and golden. Uneven browning is normal.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While doughnuts are warm, brush again with melted butter and immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mix to ensure it sticks perfectly.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately as is or drizzle with melted chocolate for an indulgent twist.
Notes
- Kneading the dough gently helps produce fluffier donut bites.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; giving space helps even cooking and puffing.
- The doughnut bites may not brown evenly due to air fryer airflow.
- Use melted butter generously for the cinnamon-sugar coating to help it adhere well.
- Optional chocolate drizzle adds extra sweetness but increases calories.
