Ingredients:
For the Donuts:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Maple Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1–2 teaspoons milk (as needed)
- Optional: Crushed pecans for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In another bowl, mix milk, yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Fill the Donut Molds:
- Lightly grease silicone donut molds and fill each cavity about 3/4 full with batter.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Place the molds in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the donuts cool slightly before removing them from the molds.
- Make the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup. Add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- Glaze the Donuts:
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set. Garnish with crushed pecans if desired.
Notes:
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Variations: Add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth.
- Tip: Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
