Ingredients Needed
- All-Purpose Flour: Forms the soft, fluffy base of the donuts
- Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness and helps create a tender crumb
- Baking Powder: Helps the donuts rise and stay light
- Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor
- Milk: Adds moisture for soft, tender eggless donuts
- Butter: Provides richness and classic donut flavor
- Vanilla Extract: Adds warm, sweet flavor to the dough
- Cinnamon (optional): Adds subtle spice and extra cozy flavor
How To Make Easy Air Fryer Eggless Donut Recipe
Step One: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step Two: Gradually add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Step Three: Lightly flour your surface, roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness, and cut donut shapes using a donut cutter or two round cutters.
Step Four: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place donuts in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch. Air fry for 5–6 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through.
Step Five: Let donuts cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, or drizzle with glaze before serving.
Easy Air Fryer Eggless Donut Recipe Tips
- Use room-temperature ingredients: Helps the batter mix evenly and keeps donuts soft.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can make donuts dense instead of fluffy.
- Check your air fryer: Cooking times may vary depending on your model, so watch donuts closely the first batch.
- Single layer only: Air fry donuts in a single layer for even cooking and golden color.
- Flavor variations: Dust with cinnamon sugar, glaze, or drizzle chocolate for extra flavor.
Storing Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store cooled donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days; warm slightly before serving.
- Freezing: Wrap donuts individually in plastic wrap or foil, place in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly before eating.
Other Cooking Instructions
Oven Option: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a donut pan, fill with batter, and bake for 12–15 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
