    To prepare these air fryer vegan donut holes, we will need simple ingredients: all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour), baking powder and vegan yogurt.

    With those ingredients we will be able to make the dough. Then, we’ll toss it in a little bit of melted margarine or vegan butter to deepen the flavor. That will also make it easier for the sugar coating to stick to the donuts.

    Keep in mind the next suggestions:

    1. The cooking time in the air fryer is for 9-10 g balls. If you make them bigger, they will require a little more time to fully cook through.
    2. If the yogurt you’ll use is not sweetened, add 1-2 tablespoon brown sugar.
    3. If the dough is a bit sticky, don't add more flour, it's normal. But if it's sticky to the point where you can't handle it, add a little oil to your hands, rub them together, and knead until it feels more manageable.
    4. If you want to cook the donuts in a conventional oven, bake at 190°C (380°F) for approximately 7-8 minutes (or until lightly browned).

    INGREDIENTS
     

    • 70 g all-purpose flour, or whole wheat flour
    • ¼ cup vegan yogurt, (70 g)
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon margarine or vegan butter, melted

    Coating (can be just sugar)

    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (355°F).
    • Mix the flour with the baking powder. Add the yogurt and mix again.
    • Transfer to your work surface and knead for about 4-5 minutes or until the dough feels smooth, but slightly sticky.
    • Divide the dough into same size balls (9-10 g).
    • Add the melted margarine to a bowl, toss the dough balls and shake it up to fully coat them with margarine.
    • Place the dough balls in the air fryer, leaving a little space between them, and cook for 5 ½ minutes. They should look slightly golden.
    • Toss the balls to the bowl with the remaining margarine (if there is no more margarine left in the bowl, add ½ to 1 tablespoon more), and shake again until fully coated.
    • Finally, transfer the balls to a bowl with sugar (it can be just sugar or sugar mixed with cinnamon), and give it a shake to make the sugar stick to the donut holes.
    • Serve right away.

    NOTES

    If you decide to store the donuts, I recommend microwaving them for 5-7 seconds prior to serving so they are soft when eaten.

      I'm confused. 70g of flour AND just 1/4c (70g) of yogurt ??? How many cups is 70g of flour?

        Yup, you're right, it's 70 g flour & 70 g yogurt. 70 g flour is around 9 tbsp or 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp 😉

        Hi Angel! Yes! Go for 180ºC (355ºF) and around 12-15 minutes (keep an eye on them! It could be slightly less or more time depending on your oven).
