Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven or air fryer to 180°C (350°F) or 160°C (fan-assisted) if needed.
  • Blend cottage cheese until smooth and velvety, creating a creamy base for the donut holes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together wholemeal plain flour, baking powder, and coconut sugar to form a delightful blend of dry ingredients.
  • Gently fold the smooth cottage cheese into the bowl until combined, creating a cohesive dough.
  • Shape the dough into 12 equal portions, forming bite-sized balls ready for their cinnamon-sugar coating.
  • Place the dough balls in your air fryer or on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them bake for 10-12 minutes until golden perfection.
  • Combine cinnamon and coconut sugar in a small bowl, creating the finishing touch that elevates these donut holes to true churro-inspired indulgence.
  • Gently dip each donut hole into a bowl of milk, ensuring it gets lightly coated.
  • Roll the milk-coated ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring every bit is covered in the sweet and spicy goodness.
