Gluten-Free Air Fryer Boston Cream Donuts
These gluten-free Boston cream donuts are filled with luscious cream and topped with rich chocolate, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth this autumn.
Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Cream Filling and Glaze
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (use dairy-free chips for a vegan option)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure they are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your donuts tender.
- Preheat your air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions, generally around 350°F (175°C).
- Using a spoon or piping bag, fill your donut molds halfway with the batter.
- Air fry the donuts for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While donuts are cooling, prepare the cream filling by whipping the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fill the cooled donuts with the whipped cream using a piping bag or filling tip.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the tops of the filled donuts into the melted chocolate.
Notes
Measure carefully for accuracy; consider alternative fillings for variety. Store in an airtight container.
