Ingredients

Scale

For the Donuts:

1 cup all-purpose flour (125 g)
½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1 large egg
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (60 g)
2 tbsp milk (30 ml)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (30 g)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries (75 g)

For the Glaze (optional):

½ cup powdered sugar (60 g)
1–2 tsp milk (5–10 ml)
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat Air Fryer: Set air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes. Grease donut molds lightly.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat egg, Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Add Blueberries: Fold in blueberries gently (do not thaw frozen berries).
Combine Mixtures: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and fold until just combined. Batter should be thick but scoopable.
Fill Donut Molds: Spoon batter into molds, filling ¾ full. Smooth tops lightly.
Air Fry: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in molds, then transfer to a wire rack.
Glaze (Optional): Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over cooled donuts and let set 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Do not overmix to keep donuts light and fluffy.
Frozen blueberries can be used directly to prevent batter from turning purple.

Air fryer times may vary; check for doneness at 8 minutes.
