Healthy and delicious air fryer blueberry cottage cheese donut holes that are fluffy, protein-rich, and low in fat, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or desserts.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donut holes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs until well blended.
  3. Add oat flour, honey, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  5. Using a muffin tin or silicone molds suitable for your air fryer, spoon the batter into the molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Place the molds in the air fryer basket, ensuring there is enough space between each for air circulation.
  7. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the molds halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  8. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  9. Allow the donut holes to cool slightly before removing from molds.
  10. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking., Flip donut holes halfway through cooking for uniform texture., Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage., When using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain excess moisture to prevent sogginess., Cottage cheese can be substituted with Greek yogurt for a similar texture., Add-ins like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, cinnamon, or nutmeg can customize flavor., Glazes made from powdered sugar with lemon juice or maple syrup enhance taste.
