With minimal ingredients and a simple process, you can whip up a batch of fluffy, baked donuts that mimic the taste and texture of their fried counterparts without the excess oil.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
- A pinch of salt
- A dash of cinnamon (optional)
- Sprinkling of icing sugar for dusting
Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon, if using. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold this mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
-
Lightly grease your donut moulds and spoon the batter into each cavity, filling them about halfway.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and cook the donuts for approximately 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, allow them to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
