-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the blended cottage cheese, egg, honey, and vanilla and stir well with a spoon. *it’s important you do NOT blend the wet ingredients separate than the dry for optimal texture or else it may be too soft of a dough*
-
Take ~1-1 1/2 tbsp dough at a time and carefully roll into balls. Flour hands, if needed.
-
Preheat air fryer to 350°F. Coat the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Place balls in air fryer, trying not to overcrowd the basket. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Air fry for 6-7 minutes at 350°F.
-
Remove from air fryer and cool for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, make the icing. Combine all ingredients in a bowl until creamy. Coat the cooled donuts in the glaze and transfer to wired rack to set. Serve with flaky sea salt.
