Ingredients
Donut Bites
- 1 cup blended cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, flour, and baking powder until a soft dough forms.
- Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking, then roll the dough into approximately 16 equal-sized balls.
- Lightly grease your air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray.
- Arrange the dough balls in a single layer, leaving a little space between each.
- Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8–9 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through.
- While the donut bites are cooking, combine the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Brush or roll each warm donut bite in the melted butter, then coat generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
