Air fryer eggless donut/ doughnut is one such soft, fluffy, yummy and are very easy to make dessert food. Donuts are consumed as breakfast/ snack too. Donuts are traditionally prepared with eggs, flour and yeast as base ingredients. But this time I wanted to make eggless donuts; to make it possible for everyone to make. Also guilt free one. Yes Air fried donuts but no compromise in taste.

I have already posted two eggless donut recipe earlier. One is baked version and another is a fried version.

ABOUT YEAST:

These Air fryer eggless donuts turned out super light and yum. I used instant yeast to cut down the wait time, but if you don’t have it you could use regular yeast.
Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in lukewarm water/milk before using, while instant yeast can be mixed right into dry ingredients.

ABOUT GLAZE AND COATING:
Simple glaze recipe:

Powder sugar – 1 cup
Milk – 1 to 2 tablespoon
Vanilla syrup – 1/2 teaspoon

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth.

OTHER GLAZE MADE WITH SIMPLE GLAZE:

For a thick glaze add more powder sugar.
For a thin glaze add more milk.
For color glaze add food colors to the above recipe.
For funfetti glaze add food color and sprinkles too.
For chocolate glaze add cocoa powder and milk if needed.

In this recipe I have made basic donuts the sugar and cinnamon; chocolate glazing coated one but in future I will try to post variety of donuts.

As the name goes theses donuts are eggless and air fryer ones still resulting in perfect donuts; but if you ask my opinion though it tastes good and can eat more than 1 guilt free. But making these kind of donuts are really fun and interesting; if you like to experiment with things in your kitchen or like baking. But I am planning to make Air fryer/ Baked version again using eggs hopefully that turns out more yummy.

I am really not an expert at baking but try to perfect recipes that I know and take inspiration from others or depending on my family preferences and demands sometimes. So here in this recipe I used basic chocolate glazing that I like, you can use/ make any glazing of your choice, so I haven’t explained much about it.
For making these donuts patience is really a key because rest time/ wait time is more so if you have kids at home better not tell them that your making so that you get your time to make. But otherwise a simple kneading of dough, proofing, baking, glazing and relishing is all we need to do. So let’s get to the making!

Air fryer eggless donut/ doughnut is one such soft, fluffy, yummy and are very easy to make dessert food. Donuts are consumed as breakfast/ snack too.

Ingredients for air fryer eggless donuts

1 cup, All purpose flour/ Maida
1/2 cup, Warm milk
3/4 teaspoon, Instant yeast
1 teaspoon, Sugar
2 tablespoon, Unsalted Butter (melted)
Salt – a pinch
COATING FOR BASIC DONUT
1/4 cup, Sugar
1/4 cup, Cinnamon powder
FOR CHOCOLATE GLAZING
1/2 cup, Chocolate chips
2 tablespoon, Butter (unsalted)
2 teaspoon Corn syrup (optional)
2 teaspoon, Water
1/4 teaspoon, Vanilla syrup (optional)

Directions to make air fryer eggless doughnuts

In a bowl add all purpose flour, a pinch of salt, melted butter, sugar, instant yeast and milk. Mix well and knead it into a soft dough.
Now cover the dough with towel/ musljn cloth/ cling wrap and keep the bowl in a warm place. Let it rest for 2 hour to double in size. Now you can happily take rest/ do any other work😉
After 2 hour the dough should have doubled in size. Now flatten the dough with rolling pin with 1/3 thickness. Cut the dough into round shape with the help of a round cutter/ a bowl used at home. Then place a cap or small cutter. Now place the donuts one by one and place it on a non stick baking tray/ a baking tray with parchment/ wax paper. The remaining I knead into a ball again, rolled it out and cut into roundels that way no dough is water, also used the donuts holes. Now allow it to rest for an hour covered with cloth in a warm place.
After an hour the donut would have risen. Preheat oven at 310F, and now place 3 donuts in the air fryer tray and Air fry for 7 minutes. When done remove from Air fryer.
Repeat the process for other donuts as well.
Place the donuts on a wire rack and allow it to get warm. I like to coat the donuts in cinnamon and sugar when its warm as it coats well. So apply little butter on the air fried donuts then coat them in sugar cinnamon mixture.
In a bowl add chocolate chips/ morsels, corn syrup, water and butter. Microwave for 30 to 30 secs. Mix it well until it is combined well and reaches watery consistency. If it does melt in 30 seconds, microwave for 10 to 20 seconds more. Make sure the chocolate does not burn. Dip the top part of the donut in chocolate glaze and serve it.
Serve it as it or top it with chocolate, coconut, powdered sugar or any other topping of your choice.
