Notes

Tip: Avoid Overcrowding: Give the donut holes space in the Air Fryer. They need the air to hit all sides to puff up properly. The Protein Choice: Using PE Science is non-negotiable for the best texture. Pure whey often results in a tough or rubbery donut hole once cooled. Sticky Hands Tip: If the dough is sticking to your palms while rolling, lightly coat your hands in non-stick cooking spray or a dusting of flour. Scale for Macros: To hit that exact 55-calorie mark, weigh your total dough and divide by 10.
