In a large mixing bowl, add self-rising flour and vanilla yogurt.
Stir with a silicone spatula at first, then oil your hands generously with melted plant-based butter or coconut oil and knead the dough until it forms a soft and elastic ball.
Divide the dough into 8 even portions. Grease your hands with coconut oil and rub each ball nicely with oil to smooth out the edges.
Dig your thumb in the center of each dough ball to form the donut hole, and swirl to extend them to the max. The hole shrinks back a lot in the air fryer, so make it wider.
Grease the air fryer basket with oil spray and place 4 donuts in the basket, far from each other, as they expand a lot (see note for baking the donuts). I place one donut on each corner of the basket. Spray oil on the donuts. Keep the remaining donuts on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper at room temperature to air fry later.
Air fry the first batch at 350°F (180°C) for 8-9 minutes or until they puff, get golden brown, and dry. They should look like little bread/bagels.
Meanwhile, fill a bowl with sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Set aside. In another bowl, add plant-based butter and melt in the microwave in 20-second bursts. Set aside at room temperature.
Remove the cooked donuts from the air fryer, and air fry the second batch following the same instructions as above.
Place the warm donuts on a cooling rack and immediately brush with melted plant-based butter and then, roll into a bowl filled with cinnamon and sugar.
Notes
Note 1: You can use 1 cup of all-purpose flour and stir in 2 teaspoons of baking powder.Note 2: You can use any vanilla yogurt. I used cashew vanilla yogurt. Any plain yogurt also works, but the batter won't be sweet or flavored.Note 3: You can use any vegetable oil. The purpose of the oil is to grease your hands, making the dough soft, smooth, elastic, and not sticky. Avocado oil, olive oil, or canola oil work. Baking Donuts: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place the donuts on the sheet, leaving about two inches between each. Brush both sides with oil, and bake in the center rack for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
