I made the viral airfryer doughnuts using two ingredients
I found the viral airfryer doughnuts on my TikTok and using only two ingredients seemed too good to be true, so I decided to give it a go and make them myself.
Even though I don’t usually eat them regularly, there is nothing better than a good doughnut. Most will probably disagree but for me, nothing beats a jam doughnut, there’s just something about them that I love.
The two ingredient airfryer recipe was shared on TikTok by @the_hungryhooker who is an ‘Ex-Pro Rugby Player that bakes’ and shares weekly indulgent dessert recipes. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a dessert to make from his TikTok.

The video is captioned: “2 Ingredient Airfryer Doughnuts [doughnut emoji]” and has received nearly 100k views on TikTok. At the beginning of the video, he said they will: “satisfy that sweet tooth and a big plus they’re pretty healthy”. I was sold instantly.
The two ingredients you need to make the doughnuts are self-raising flour and greek yoghurt. He explains in the comments on the video that “greek style yoghurt gives it the right texture as it’s a lot thicker” when asked if you could use natural yoghurt instead.
How to:
1. Add your self raising flour to a bowl along with the greek yoghurt. Mix this and combine fully using your hands
2. Dust a clean surface with some flour and roll into a sausage shape. Cut this into 2cm pieces and roll into balls
3. Spray your airfryer with some frylight and chuck the dough balls in. Spray again with frylight and give it a shake to coat
4. Air fry at 190 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy inside
5. Add four teaspoons of icing sugar to a bowl with a dash of milk and mix. Coat your dough balls in this and they are ready to eat. Before making the sweet treats, I read in the comments that someone who had made these recommended adding cinnamon to the coating mix so I gave this a try.
The verdict:
When I opened the air fryer, I was hopeful as it smelt like freshly baked doughnuts. From the first look, they looked more like crispy dough balls than doughnuts so I was slightly apprehensive to try them.
After adding the sweet coating to the doughnut balls, it was time to try them. I was right, they had the same texture as breaded dough balls.
The outside was crispy instead of the softness of a doughnut I was hoping for and the inside resembled bread. If I hadn’t added cinnamon into the sweet coating I made, they wouldn’t have really tasted of anything.
Even though they were so easy to make, I won’t be making these again and I definitely wouldn’t recommend making them unless you like the idea of sweet flavoured dough balls. Rather than satisfy my sweet tooth, they just gave me a sore tummy. It’s a no from me.
