Healthy Air Fryer Donuts
These healthy air fryer donuts were made with lots of love, hanger and chocolate cravings. After trying a few times I found the perfect combination of ingredients to get both a delicious flavor and a great texture.
Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 7 gr active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/8 cup warm oat milk
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/8 cup date paste
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
- pinch of salt
- stevia powder
- 2,25 cups oat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
Toppings
- 35 gr dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- chopped almonds
Instructions
- Mix the active dry yeast, warm water, oat milk and the tbsp of honey in a bowl. Set it aside for about 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast mixture becomes frothy
- Sift the flours and add the rest of dry ingredients (lemon zest, salt, stevia powder)
- Add the coconut oil, vanilla extract, date paste and eggs
- Add the yeast mixture and mix it all together till you get a slightly sticky dough
- Place it in a bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel or cling film and wait for at least 1 hour. The dough should almost double its size
- Spread some oat flour over a clean surface, split the dough into 4 parts and roll them out to about 1.5 cm of thickness. Use a glass or a donut cutter to cut out the donut shapes
- Repeat the same process with the remaining dough
- Preheat the air fryer at maximum temperature
- Place the donuts in the air fryer basket and spray some coconut or olive oil on them
- Place them in the air fryer and bake for 8-10 minutes at 160ºC (320ºF)
- If you choose to dip them into chocolate, it's time to melt the chocolate with 1 tbsp of coconut oil (instructions at the end of this recipe)
- Dip one side of the donuts one by one into the melted chocolate and spread some chopped nuts on top
