Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Regular yogurt has more moisture than Greek yogurt, so the dough will be wetter. If using regular yogurt, you'll need to add about ¼ cup more flour to achieve the right consistency. The texture might be slightly different, but they'll still be delicious!

Why did my donut holes turn out dense?

Dense donut holes usually result from overworking the dough or using too much flour. Mix just until combined and add extra flour only if absolutely necessary. Also, check that your self-rising flour is fresh, as old leavening agents won't provide proper rise.

Can I make these dairy-free?

You can experiment with dairy-free yogurt alternatives like coconut or almond milk-based yogurts, but you may need to adjust the flour amount. For the glaze, substitute non-dairy milk and make sure your powdered sugar is dairy-free.

How can I make the strawberry flavor stronger?

For an extra strawberry punch, add a tablespoon of strawberry jam to the dough or mix some crushed freeze-dried strawberries directly into the batter. You could also add a drop of strawberry extract if you have it.

1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
1 3/4 cups self-rising flour

Homemade Self-Rising Flour (Optional):

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven or air fryer: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or your air fryer to 350℉). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or spray your air fryer basket with avocado oil).
Prepare homemade self-rising flour (if needed): If you don’t have self-rising flour, substitute it by whisking together 1¾ cups all-purpose flour, 2½ tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt in a medium bowl.
Mix the dough: Add the yogurt and self-rising flour to a medium bowl. Mix well until a dough forms. The dough should be only slightly sticky. If it’s too sticky, add 1 tbsp of flour at a time and mix with your hands until the dough is manageable.
Shape and bake: Using a cookie scooper, scoop out the dough into balls (about 1½ tbsp per ball). Shape them as best as you can into round balls and space them out on your cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden on top. Do NOT overbake. For the air fryer, bake for about 5 minutes or until light golden.
Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to achieve the desired consistency. Dip the tops and sides of each cooled donut into the glaze.
Add the finishing touch: Sprinkle the tops of each glazed donut hole with crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe is adapted from KirbieCravings.com.
Ensure the donut holes are completely cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days for the best taste and texture.
For a healthier twist, use a yogurt with lower sugar content.
