🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
✓ 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
✓ 1/4 cup tapioca starch
✓ 1/4 cup granulated sugar
✓ 1 tsp baking powder
✓ 1/4 tsp salt
✓ 3/4 cup whole milk
✓ 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
✓ 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
✓ 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Oil spray for air fryer
✓ 1 cup ube puree (canned or fresh roasted)
✓ 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
✓ 2 tbsp powdered sugar
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of salt
✓ 2 tbsp granulated sugar mixed with 1/4 tsp ube powder for coating

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Ube Filling: In a small bowl, whisk together ube puree, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes while preparing dough.

2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. This prevents lumps and aerates the dough.

3. Create Wet Base: In another bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth with no streaks.

4. Combine and Knead: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Knead by hand for 2-3 minutes until dough becomes elastic and slightly sticky but manageable. Do not overwork.

5. Shape the Donuts: Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip (or use a donut mold). Pipe 8 equal rings onto parchment paper, making sure the hole is clearly defined. If using a mold, press dough into molds and tap out gently.

6. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line air fryer basket with parchment or lightly spray with cooking oil. Allow 3 minutes for full preheating.

7. Air-Fry the Donuts: Carefully transfer donuts to air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Spray tops lightly with oil. Air-fry for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean. Flip halfway through.

8. Coat While Warm: Remove donuts and let cool for 2 minutes. Combine granulated sugar with ube powder. While donuts are still warm, roll them in the ube-sugar mixture until fully coated on all sides.

9. Fill the Donuts: Once completely cooled, use a small piping bag or injection tool to fill each donut hole with chilled ube mixture. Fill until slightly fuller than you think—they'll hold it. About 2-3 tbsp per donut.

10. Serve and Store: Serve immediately for maximum crispiness. Store unfilled donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days; fill them fresh before serving. Refrigerate filled donuts and consume within 24 hours.
