About

Instead of 1 regular donut, have 2 treats instead per serving! These cinnamon leche donut holes are baked in your air fryer. They have the perfect slightly-crisp outside of a freshly fried donut but without any grease. The insides are tender and fluffy, especially when fresh out of the air fryer. This is one of those low carb air fryer recipes any of your company can enjoy, Keto or not. What makes the donut holes taste extra special is the addition of Mexican vanilla, which has a warm, spicier fragrance to it than regular vanilla extract. Of course, you can sub in classic vanilla extract if you can’t find Mexican vanilla.

Convention Oven Baking Instructions

Don’t have an air fryer? No problem! You can still bake these cinnamon leche donut holes in your regular oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, flip the holes and then bake for another 3-5 minutes. You may find the donut holes slightly drier, but dipping them in a glaze or dessert dip will relieve that issue. For less time in the kitchen, make the donut hole dough in a large batch. Then, just quickly roll and place on a tray to bake off for your next group gathering.
