Air Fryer Funfetti Donut Holes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Hello, Happy October! It’s a new month and a perfect day to share a new recipe. Last week I shared my air fryer cinnamon almond donut holes and they were such a hit that I naturally needed to test a new flavor ASAP!

My husband LOVES funfetti (I bake him a cake every year for his birthday and fun fact it was our wedding cake!), so this was the next flavor in the queue. 

The recipe is quite simple and made with wholesome ingredients. If you don’t have an air fryer, you’re still in luck! I tested a few in the oven and they work. They lose a bit of their “ball” shape and of course don’t get as crispy on the outside, but the taste and texture are still A+. Find the recipe below!

Air Fryer Funfetti Donut Holes

A playful take on my original air fryer donut holes - complete with sprinkles and vanilla glaze!
Course Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Keyword air fryer, almond flour, donut holes, funfetti, healthy treats, sprinkles
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Fridge Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil or coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 3 tbsp coconut flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp sprinkles

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp non-dairy milk start with 1 tbsp and add more if you want a thinner glaze
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles to coat!

Instructions

Air Fryer

  • Combine all of your wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Add your dry ingredients to the wet and stir well to combine. (I like to use a silicone or rubber spatula).
  • Put dough in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pull out your air fryer and spray well with oil (olive oil/coconut oil/avocado oil all will work just fine). Be sure to spray it well!
  • Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll into small balls. Place in to your oiled air fryer. Make sure there's a tiny bit of space between each ball. They will expand/ puff up a bit! Depending on the size of your fryer, you may need to make 2 batches.
  • Turn your air fryer on to 350 degrees F and fry the donuts for 7-9 minutes. At around 4-5 minutes, shake the fryer basket. You'll know when the donut holes are done when the exterior looks puffed up and crisp with a few crackles.
  • Let the donut holes cool and make your vanilla glaze. I recommend starting with 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 1 tbsp of non-dairy milk, but feel free to play around with the measurements to get your desired consistency. If you feel it's too thin, add more sugar. If you feel it's too thick, add more milk!
  • Be sure to let the donut holes completely cool before adding the vanilla glaze (otherwise it will run right off). Once cool, use a spoon and drizzle the donuts liberally. Add sprinkles to top. The glaze will harden and then dig in! Enjoy! Store on counter for 1-2 days then transfer to fridge in a covered container.

Oven

  • Follow instructions as above, but instead of using an air fryer, use your oven! Pre-heat to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your donut holes a few inches apart and let bake for ~12 minutes.
  • The donut holes will lose a little bit of their perfect "roundness" and not get as crisp on the outside, but the taste and texture will still be amazing!!
  • Let fully cool, make the glaze as above, drizzle liberally, add sprinkles, and enjoy! Store on counter for 1-2 days then transfer to fridge in a covered container.

I'm finally sharing this insanely easy recipe (TY for your patience) and I cannot wait for you to try them. I've made these babies about 5 times in the past week and they're truly fabulous ❤️🍪

The ingredients are REAL and SIMPLE and the end result is very reminiscent of cookie dough. Plus they're packed with protein from nut butter and flax seeds so they've got some staying power .. aka the perfect snack 🙌🏻

With each passing day, I’m trying to appreciate the small, the mundane, and keep note of it in a gratitude journal. Thanks @earthandme.nyc for the idea ❤️ 

Today, and every day, try to find joy. Surround yourself with love and laughter. Connect with your people and tell them you how much you care. 

And with that I’ll say, I LOVE YOU! And all of your support 🥰 I delivered a bunch of muffins to new friends yesterday, just because, and it made me quite happy. Finding connection during the pandemic is key. I challenge you to call a friend this week and re-connect ❤️ Have a great day everyone!!

In my opinion, most muffins are better than most cupcakes ... cupcakes tend to be super dry and rely on a whole lot of frosting to make them even worth eating. A good muffin, on the other hand, has to be good on its own, without a mountain of sugar on top. A good muffin should be moist, flavorful, not too sweet, and packed with nutritious ingredients ..⁣

I tested these babies this morning and I am truly in love. The flavor and texture are 𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓. They're cakey and moist, packed with healthy fats from olive oil and walnuts, and lightly sweetened with honey and @lilys_sweets choc chips. ⁣

I need to adjust the amount of leavener I used because the middles sunk in a touch, but other than that, these muffins are pretty perfect. This means I want to test the recipe 𝐎𝐍𝐄 more time and then I will share out the deets so you can make them at home. I can't wait for you to try!!⁣ 🙌🏻

PS this gorgeous cutting board was a gift from @wildthingmanor and I just love it!⁣ ❤️
