Air Fryer Lemon Donuts
Refreshing and mildly sweet lemon donuts that are cooked in the air fryer for optimal health.
Ingredients
For The Donuts
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 2 tbsp Truvia cane sugar blend
- 1/2 packet active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup unsweetened nut milk (I used cashew milk)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
For The Glaze
- 3 tsp Truvia cane sugar blend
- 3/4 tsp unsweetened nut milk (I used cashew)
Instructions
- Warm the nut milk until a temperature of about 100° F is achieved. If it's too hot, it will kill the yeast. If it's too cold, the yeast won't activate. Note: the back of your yeast package should tell you the exact temperature to shoot for.
- Combine the yeast, 1 tsp of the Truvia blend, and the nut milk until the yeast is mostly dissolved, then set aside.
- Add the oat flour, pastry flour, and the rest of the Truvia blend to a mixing bowl, and combine thoroughly.
- Add in the yeast mixture, the vanilla extract, and the lemon juice, then mix again. Finally, add in the coconut oil, and mix again.
- Gently fold in the lemon zest.
- Cover the dough with a towel and set aside for an hour to rise.
- After the hour is up, place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/2" thick (you can go thicker for taller donuts).
- Use large and small round cookie cutters to cut out the donut shapes.
- Lightly grease your air fryer with oil and bake donuts for about 4 - 5 minutes at 350° F until golden brown.
- Enjoy as is or make a light glaze by combining the 3 tsp Truvia blend with the 1 tsp nut milk and spread a generous layer on top of each donut.
