When the week starts off rough, a sweet treat that doesn’t wreck your health goals can make all the difference. These light and fluffy gluten-free blueberry donuts are here to lift your mood — made with just three main ingredients and an air fryer, they’re the perfect blend of indulgence and guilt-free goodness.
Instead of reaching for a sugar-loaded pastry, you can whip up this simple recipe using almond flour, plain Greek yogurt and a hint of baking powder. Fresh blueberries add that juicy burst of flavour without the need for refined sugar. If you like, drizzle them with melted sugar-free white chocolate chips for an extra touch of sweetness.
To get started, combine one cup of almond flour, one cup of Greek yogurt and one teaspoon of baking powder in a bowl. Mix well until it forms a dough. If the mixture is too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more almond flour. Next, gently fold in a third of a cup of fresh blueberries. To keep the berries from breaking and leaking their juices too soon, shape the dough around them rather than mixing them too vigorously.
Roll the dough into small golf ball-sized rounds. Avoid making them too large to ensure they cook through evenly. Preheat your air fryer to 185°C. Place the dough balls in the fryer basket, give them a light spray with cooking oil and air fry for about 8 to 10 minutes or until they turn crisp and golden brown.
Once done, you can add a finishing touch by drizzling melted sugar-free white chocolate over the top. These donuts store well in the fridge for up to a week and reheat beautifully in the air fryer in just a couple of minutes — keeping them crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Whether you’re tackling Monday blues or looking for a healthier dessert option, these easy gluten-free blueberry donuts are a tasty way to treat yourself all week long.
