Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk 177mL
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50g
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar 57 g
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup jam raspberry or other flavor, 165g
Instructions
- Warm up the milk, put it in a bowl, and add sugar and yeast. Mix well and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then mix in the flour, oil, and vanilla extract.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the mixture to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface, roll out to around 1-inch in thickness, and cut using a 1 ½ -2 inch round cookie cutter. Place on a parchment paper lined tray, cover, and allow to rest for 40 minutes.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C. Combine the powdered sugar and cinnamon on a plate and set it aside.
- Line the basket with parchment paper, add the donuts and spritz with oil. Air fry for 5 minutes, then gently turn over and cook for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- When done, roll the warm donuts in the sugar-cinnamon mixture, then spoon jam into a piping bag, insert a chopstick into each donut to create space for the filling and pipe the jam inside each donut.

Notes
- To activate the yeast properly, be sure to use warm milk – not hot or cold.
- Be sure to let the dough rise for at least 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Line the air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help to make cleaning up easy.
- Don't crowd the air fryer basket! Be sure to allow plenty of space between the donuts so they cook evenly. Air fry in batches, as needed.
- Roll the donuts in the cinnamon sugar while they are still warm so that it will adhere better.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
- There are 8 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
