Ingredients
  

For the Donut Bites
  • 2 cups Self-Raising Flour Can be substituted with all-purpose flour and baking powder (1.5 teaspoon per cup)
  • 1 cup Sweetened Greek Yogurt Plain Greek yogurt works too if mixed with honey or sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Melted; margarine can be used as a substitute
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Alternatively, nutmeg can be used
  • ½ cup Sugar Coconut sugar can be used for a healthier alternative

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and sweetened Greek yogurt. Stir until a soft, cohesive dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll into logs about 1 inch thick. Cut each log into small pieces, approximately 8-12 grams each.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes and lightly brush the basket with oil.
  4. Melt some butter and toss the dough balls in until coated, ensuring they are spaced adequately in the air fryer basket.
  5. Air fry the bites for about 5 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
  6. Brush the warm donut bites with any remaining melted butter and toss in a cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

Notes
