Description

Easy air fryer pumpkin beignets made with no yeast. A spiced pumpkin and Greek yogurt dough is air fried until golden, then dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup 125 g all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup 122 g pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup 120 g plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup 30 g powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt and oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth.
  • Roll to ½ inch thick and cut into 8 rectangles.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Spray the basket and the beignets with cooking spray.
  • Arrange in a single layer with space between each. Air fry 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Perforated parchment liner, optional

Notes

Use pumpkin puree, not pie filling. For a sweeter dough, add 1 tablespoon sugar. Store unsugared leftovers airtight for 1 to 2 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
