Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

1/2 cup milk

1 large egg

2 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

Cooking spray

1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating, optional)

1 tsp cinnamon (for coating, optional)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be thick.

        Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Spray the air fryer basket with a light coat of cooking spray.

          Shape the Donuts: Spoon the batter into a greased donut pan or use a piping bag to fill the donut molds, filling them about 2/3 full. If you don't have a donut pan, you can create round shapes by piping the batter onto a piece of parchment paper.

            Air Fry the Donuts: Place the filled donut pan or parchment shapes in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

              Cool and Coat: Carefully remove the donuts from the fryer and allow them to cool slightly. If desired, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and coat the warm donuts by rolling them in the mixture.

                Serve and Enjoy: Once fully cooled or while still warm, enjoy your delightful air fryer donuts with your favorite beverages or toppings!
