Air fryers have become a kitchen staple, and for good reason! They’re versatile, convenient, and perfect for creating crispy, delicious treats. One popular recipe making waves in the online air fryer community is for doughnut bites, a simple three-ingredient delight that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
This recipe cleverly uses bananas as a substitute for traditional moist ingredients like eggs and butter, resulting in a batter that’s surprisingly easy to make. The banana’s natural sweetness adds a subtle touch to the final product, while the air fryer ensures a perfectly crispy exterior.
Here’s what you’ll need:
* Three small ripe bananas
* One teaspoon of vanilla extract
* Two cups (240g) of self-raising flour
Instructions:
1. Peel and roughly break the bananas into a bowl. Mash them with a fork until very smooth.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract and then gradually add the flour, mixing to form a thick dough. Add more flour if the mixture is too sticky, but do so slowly to avoid making the dough overly dry.
3. Shape the dough into small balls, creating your bite-sized doughnuts.
4. Spray a small circular dish or tray that can be used in your air fryer with cooking spray.
5. Cook the doughnut bites at 200°C for eight to ten minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
6. Once cooked, brush the doughnut bites with melted butter and roll them in a mixture of ground cinnamon and sugar (3/4 teaspoon cinnamon to one teaspoon sugar).
7. Enjoy your warm, delicious doughnut bites!
The recipe has been a hit with fellow air fryer users, with many praising the sweet treats and their resemblance to popular desserts found in the Pacific Islands. So next time you’re craving a sweet treat, give this easy, air fryer-friendly recipe a try. You won’t be disappointed!
