Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp honey
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup oat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the donut holes.
- Mix cottage cheese and egg: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming a creamy batter base.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, honey, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until the mixture forms a thick batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the donut holes tender.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly without breaking them apart.
- Scoop the batter: Use a tablespoon to portion out the batter into individual servings.
- Shape into balls: With damp hands, roll each tablespoon portion into a smooth ball to promote even cooking and a neat appearance.
- Air fry: Place the donut holes in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between each. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- You can substitute oat flour with almond or whole wheat flour if preferred.
- Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.
- These donut holes are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with additional honey before serving for extra sweetness.
