Description

These Air Fryer Blueberry Cottage Cheese Donut Holes are a healthy and delicious bite-sized treat, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack. Made with wholesome ingredients like cottage cheese, oat flour, and fresh blueberries, they are lightly sweetened with honey and cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer, delivering a soft and moist texture without the need for frying in oil.

Ingredients

Scale

Donut Holes

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease the basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oat flour and baking powder gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the donut holes tender.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them up too much.
  5. Form Donut Holes: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the batter into donut-hole-sized balls. Place them in the air fryer basket, spacing them apart to allow air circulation for even cooking.
  6. Air Fry: Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until the donut holes turn golden brown and are cooked through when tested with a toothpick.
  7. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the donut holes from the basket and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour or all-purpose flour if preferred.
  • For a vegan version, replace egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
  • These donut holes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave before serving for a warm treat.
