Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ cup milk
    • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Coating:
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop, form the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  6. Place the donut holes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  8. While the donut holes are cooking, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating in a bowl.
  9. Once cooked, immediately toss the warm donut holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: The dough can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftover donut holes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • Substitutions: For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
