Equipment

1 Air fryer

Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour
½ cup plant-based vanilla yogurt
2 tbsp. vegan butter melted
2 tbsp. powdered sugar
½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, stir together the self-raising flour and sweetened plant-based vanilla yogurt. You can use fruit yogurt too. Mix together till you get a dough. It is slightly sticky, and that is fine. Do not overmix it or the donut holes will get dense.
Divide the dough into two parts and then roll it out into cylinders. You can apply a bit of oil on your palms if the dough is too sticky.
Divide each cylinder into equal parts and shape them into small balls like donut balls.
Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 3 minutes. Place the donut balls in air fryer basket after spraying or brushing with oil. Leave a little space in between them so that they cook uniformly.
Shake the basket midway. Air fry for about 5-8 minutes till the donut holes are cooked. They will be cracked and golden brown. They will not look perfectly golden like deep fried.
Now take melted vegan butter in a bowl. Toss the air fried donut holes in vegan butter so that they are fully coated. In another plate, take cinnamon sugar. Immediately roll the donut holes in cinnamon sugar so that it sticks well.
You can make cinnamon sugar by combining ½ cup powdered sugar with 1 tsp. ground cinnamon. You won't need all of it. But, you need a larger quantity for rolling the donut holes.
There you go. Delicious and easy air fryer donut holes are ready to eat. Enjoy them as a nice sweet treat. You can have them for breakfast or as a snack or dessert.

Notes

1. If you don’t have self-raising flour, no problem! Just mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. It works perfectly as a substitute.

2. Keep an eye on your donut holes when they are cooking. We don't want them cooking too longer. Don't aim for dark golden colour or they will get dense.

3. You can also add some melted chocolate or make a glaze for the donut holes.

4. Any plant-based yogurt works here. Those who consume dairy can use Greek yogurt.
