Delicious Air Fryer Funnel Cakes: A Lighter Twist!

Ingredients

• Spritz of nonstick cooking spray
• One cup of almond flour
• A tablespoon of almond flour
• A cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• Four tablespoons of erythritol confectioners' sweetener (like Swerve®), split into parts
• One and a half teaspoons of baking powder
• A teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• Vanilla extract, a teaspoon
• Half a teaspoon of salt

Step 1

To kick things off, set your air fryer to a cozy 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) as per the manufacturer's guidelines. In the meantime, get your basket ready by lining it with parchment paper and giving it a quick spritz of nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Now, let's dive into the fun part - preparing the dough! In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, Greek yogurt, a couple of spoonfuls of sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Get your hands in there and work the ingredients together until a dough forms.

Step 3

Next, sprinkle some flour on your workspace and divide the dough into four equal portions, shaping them into neat little balls. Using a bench scraper, cut each ball into eight pieces and roll them in flour. Roll each piece into a slender rope, aiming for a crispier end result. Arrange these ropes in a circular formation in the air fryer basket, taking care to ensure they are evenly spaced. Repeat this process with the remaining dough balls, forming a delightful mound of doughy goodness. Give each funnel cake a light spray of cooking oil before popping them into the air fryer.

Step 4

Cook until the funnel cakes take on a beautiful golden hue, typically around 5 to 6 minutes. Flip them over, give another spray of cooking oil, and continue air frying for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Once done, sprinkle the remaining sweetener over the top for that extra touch of sweetness.

Step 5

Enjoy your homemade funnel cakes, made with love and a touch of creativity!
