Air-Fryer Cinnamon-Sugar Peach Donut Holes

Serves 4 · 15 min prep · 16 min cook

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup, divided granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp plus 1 tsp, divided ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp fine salt
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 Tbsp plus 2 Tbsp, divided unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup ripe peach, finely diced
• as needed cooking spray

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
2. 2In a separate bowl whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
3. 3Gently fold in the finely diced peach so the fruit is distributed without crushing it into the dough.
4. 4Lightly oil your hands and roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch across. Arrange them in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, leaving a little space between each; work in batches if needed.
5. 5Lightly mist the tops with cooking spray. Air-fry at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until the donut holes are puffed, golden, and cooked through in the center.
6. 6While the first batch cooks, stir the remaining sugar with the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Melt the remaining butter in a small dish.
7. 7As soon as each batch of donut holes comes out, brush them all over with melted butter while still hot, then toss in the cinnamon sugar until generously coated.
8. 8Serve immediately while warm and fragrant. They stay soft inside with a crackly sweet crust outside—perfect for a fast after-school treat.
