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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix cottage cheese and egg: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined, which helps create a creamy batter base.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour, honey, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until the mixture forms a thick batter. Be careful not to overmix to keep the donut holes tender.
  4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them apart.
  5. Scoop the batter: Use a tablespoon to portion out the batter into individual servings.
  6. Shape into balls: With damp hands, roll each tablespoon portion into a smooth ball, which helps them cook evenly and look neat.
  7. Air fry: Place the donut holes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they turn golden brown and are 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.
