These delightful, protein-packed breakfast treats combine the creaminess of cottage cheese with the bright, jammy burst of fresh blueberries.

They are a healthier, easy-to-make alternative to deep-fried donuts that your whole family will absolutely love.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1 cup cottage cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Lightly grease your air fryer basket with non-stick spray.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and drop them into the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them.
Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the donut holes are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the air fryer and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for the richest texture and moisture. If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a teaspoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from bleeding color. If the batter is too sticky to handle, add an extra tablespoon of flour.
