Ingredients
Scale
- For the Donut Holes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg

- For the Coating:

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter, then mix into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the air fryer basket, leaving space between each.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

- Once cooked, immediately toss the warm donut holes in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated.
