Air Fryer Blueberry Donuts (Print-Friendly Version)

Golden blueberry donuts baked in the air fryer and topped with a simple vanilla glaze. Soft, sweet, and bursting with berries.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Donut Batter

01 - 130 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 100 grams granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
05 - 80 milliliters whole milk
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
09 - 75 grams fresh blueberries, tossed with 1 teaspoon flour

→ Glaze

10 - 90 grams powdered sugar
11 - 22 milliliters milk
12 - 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# How to Prepare:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 160°C for 3 to 5 minutes.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to maintain a tender crumb.
05 - Gently fold in the blueberries coated in flour, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
06 - Lightly grease silicone donut molds. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
07 - Arrange the molds in the air fryer basket. Cook at 160°C for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.
08 - Allow donuts to cool in the molds for several minutes before unmolding to maintain shape.
09 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
10 - Dip each cooled donut into the glaze or drizzle over the top, then set aside briefly before serving.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Lightly greasing silicone molds prevents donuts from sticking for easier release.
02 - Air fryer temperature accuracy may vary; monitor doneness from 7 minutes if your unit runs hot.
03 - Adjust the milk in the glaze for a thicker or thinner finish as desired.
