Thank you This Silly Girl’s Kitchen for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 4 Tbsp butter (softened)

  • 2 eggs (room temperature)

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 + ¾ cups all-purpose flour 

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tsp salt 

Icing: 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 7 Tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and the eggs. Whisk until everything is combined. 

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar together. 

  3. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use your hands to knead the dough until it’s smooth and pliable. Place the dough into the fridge for 1 hour prior to cooking or overnight.

  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to ½ inch thickness. Use a 1-inch biscuit cutter to cut circles in the dough. Roll the remaining dough scraps into a ball, flatten to ½ inch, and repeat. Cut each donut in half then roll each half into a ball. 

  5. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the donuts in the air fryer at least ½ inch apart, you may have to do multiple batches. Cook the donuts for 6 minutes flipping them halfway through. 

  6. While the donuts cook, prepare the glaze. Add the powdered sugar to a small bowl and whisk in the heavy whipping cream until the texture is smooth. 

  7. Remove the donuts from the air fryer and let them cool for 5 minutes. 

  8. One at a time, submerge the donuts in the glaze. Place them on a wire rack to let the excess icing drip off and the glaze set.
