Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Substitution: Use ricotta cheese for a similar consistency.
  • 1 large Egg Substitution: Flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water) for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Oat Flour Substitution: Almond flour for a nutty flavor or gluten-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Substitution: Maple syrup or agave syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Note: Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained to reduce excess moisture.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder No substitutions recommended for this purpose.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Do not omit for balance.

Equipment

  • Air fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and honey, blending until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually introduce the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until well-combined and thick; gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  3. Using a scoop or your hands, form small balls of batter, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  4. Insert the basket into the air fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown and lightly springy.
  5. Remove donut holes from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
