Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup mashed banana (1/2 of a medium banana)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add mashed banana, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of water or additional Greek yogurt, 1 tsp at a time.
- Shape Donut Holes: Scoop out about 1–1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll into small balls using your hands. Place the donut holes on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- Cook Donut Holes: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange donut holes in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. The donut holes should be golden brown on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Let the donut holes cool slightly before serving. Optionally, dust with cinnamon or powdered sweetener for extra flavor.
