Whole wheat air-fryer donuts
Soft and fluffy donuts with crispy skin, made with wholesome ingredients. No refined sugar or white flour. Equally delicious that you wouldn't believe these are healthy donuts!
Servings: 9 donuts
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour (160 g), use spoon and level method
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg , room temperature
- 2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoon honey (30 g)
- 2 tablespoon warm milk
- 1 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast (4 g)
Topping
- some oil , for brushing
- some erythritol , to roll in
Instructions
Dough
- Add all ingredients into a bowl and using a wooden spoon, mix everything until you get a lumpy mixture. Pour on a working surface and knead for 5 minutes. The dough will be sticky. Use a metal scraper to help.
- Form into a ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover tightly with a cling film and leave to rise until double its size.
Assembling
- Roughly form risen dough into a ball. Use a rolling pin and roll into ½ inch thickness. Use a 2 inch cookie cutter and something round of ½ inch, like a bottle cap to cut out the donuts. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the balance of dough until you get total of 9 donuts.
- Cover with cling film and leave until they rise double their size.
Cooking
- Spray the air fryer inner rack with some oil. Gently place donuts on it. Use "Air fry" setting, set temperature at 340ºF (170ºC) and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from air fryer and lightly brush the top and side with some oil, and then roll in erythritol. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use spoon and level method for cup measurement to avoid using more flour than intended for this recipe
- Brushing some oil on cooked donuts will help the sugar stick on them
- Skip that step if you want to dip them into other toppings like healthy chocolate peanut butter spread (yum!)
