Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1/4 cup mashed ripe banana
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips of choice, melted, for serving
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (for coating)
- 1/2 cup + 2 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
- For Homemade Self-Rising Flour: 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350F. If using the oven, preheat to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, greek yogurt, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Place the dough on a floured surface. Sprinkle more flour on top and knead a few times until the dough is smooth. Add 1 more tablespoon of flour at a time if the dough remains too sticky, kneading until it becomes pliable.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 16 pieces.
- Place parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Working in batches, place 8 dough pieces in the air fryer. If using the oven, place the dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the dough pieces with melted butter.
- Air fry at 350F for 4 minutes, flip gently, and air fry for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. For the oven, bake at 375F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- While the donut bites cook, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl for the coating.
- Remove the donut holes from the air fryer or oven and immediately toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve warm with melted chocolate.
Notes
- If you do not have self-rising flour, mix 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt to create your own.
- Greek yogurt must be used for the correct measurement ratios.
