Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese You can substitute with Greek yogurt for a similar texture.
  • 1 large Egg Use a flax or chia egg to create a vegan version.
  • 1 cup Oat Flour Almond flour can be used for a nutty flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Maple syrup is a great vegan alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Leavening agent that helps the donut holes rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
For the Blueberry Filling
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Feel free to use thawed frozen blueberries.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even cooking for your Blueberry Cottage Cheese Donut Holes.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, egg, and honey until smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently adding the blueberries.
  3. Shape the batter into balls measuring about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter and arrange them in the air fryer basket, leaving space for air circulation.
  4. Cook the donut holes in the air fryer for 8–10 minutes until golden-brown and springy when pressed.
  5. Carefully remove the donut holes and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm with a drizzle of honey or a dusting of powdered sugar.
