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) provides a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Oat Flour Substitution: Almond flour for a nutty flavor or a gluten-free alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Substitution: Maple syrup or agave syrup works well for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Note: Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained to reduce excess moisture.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder No substitutions recommended for this purpose.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Do not omit for balance.
Optional Topping
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar For a healthier option, consider drizzling with a bit of honey instead.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Drizzle Perfect for those who love an extra hint of sweet!

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 oat flour, baking powder, and salt, then add to the wet mixture, stirring until thick. Fold in fresh blueberries.
  3. Scoop the batter into 1 to 1.5-inch balls and place in the preheated air fryer basket with space between them.
  4. Cook the donut holes in the air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes. They should spring back when done and be golden brown outside while fluffy inside.
  5. Carefully remove and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey.
