Air Fryer Donut Holes
Air Fryer Donut Holes are here because I miss my little treats from the local coffee shop. I don’t want to deep fry anything for health reasons, but my air fryer becomes my best friend. This dough is a bit dense and as I work and rework it, the consistency improves. Play with the amount of flour.
The little bit of melted butter brushed onto the grill helps brown the donuts holes. You can use anything to decorate them. Ice them, sugar them, pour caramel or chocolate over them. One of my favourite ways is to pour a little Bailey’s custard over them. Yum!!
If you don’t have an air fryer, you really should invest in one. For health benefits read https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/air-fryer#section5
This is a great dough for little hands. You can get them to help with the rolling of the donut holes. We counted groups of 10 as we placed them on the inside grill. We measured our sugar together using tbsp. These days, I look for every opportunity for learning and making it fun.
