Ingredients

Scale

Donut Hole Batter

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, and eggs. Stir gently until a sticky dough forms, then fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  2. Shape the Donut Holes: Using your hands or a small scoop, form the dough into small, bite-sized balls approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Ensure the dough is shaped evenly for consistent cooking.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air Fry the Donut Holes: Place the shaped donut holes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving enough space between each to allow air circulation. Air fry at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the donut holes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air flow and even cooking.
  • For a sweeter treat, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey after cooking.
  • Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained properly.
  • These donut holes are best eaten the same day for optimal freshness.
