Ingredients
Donut Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp milk (non-dairy works)
Donut Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose or pastry flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 tsp salt
- avocado or coconut oil (for air-frying)
Icing Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/8 cup powdered sugar or powdered sugar substitute
- sprinkles optional
DIRECTIONS
Making the Dough
- Preheat air fryer to 340° F. Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk wet ingredients (1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tbsp milk) in a small bowl until smooth. Then add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork.
- Next, add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork. Once dough comes together, the dough should be a little sticky, but easy to handle. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If dry, add another splash of milk.
Cutting the Donuts
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice, then roll out to 1/2 thickness.
- With a biscuit cutter (I used 2 5/8" size) or top of a drinking glass, cut out donut circles. For the donut holes, use a 1-inch cookie cutter. You can also use the end of a wooden spoon to poke through the middle of the donut using a circular motion to create a hole in the center.
Baking the Donuts
- Spray both sides of the donuts liberally with avocado or coconut oil and transfer to air fryer.
- Bake for 5 minutes or until puffed and just ever so lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly.
Making The Icing
- To make the icing, stir powdered sugar with yogurt.
- Dip the top of each donut in the yoghurt icing, top with sprinkles, and enjoy!
- These donuts are best eaten just after air frying.
Notes
NOTE: The thickness of Greek yogurts can vary widely by brand. If your Greek yogurt is extra thick, you may need to add a little more milk to make your dough the right consistency.
