These beignets take on a wholesome aspect as they're cooked in an air fryer. You will need a silicone egg-bite mold, available through retailers like Amazon®.

Air Fryer Beignets

serving cooking spray

all-purpose flour

white sugar

water

egg,

butter

baking powder

vanilla extract

salt

confectioners' sugar,

Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C). Spray a silicone egg-bite mold with nonstick cooking spray.


Whisk flour, sugar, water, egg yolk, butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir to combine.


Beat egg white in a small bowl using an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold into batter. Add batter to the prepared mold using a small hinged ice cream scoop.


Place filled silicone mold into the basket of the air fryer.


Fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Remove mold from the basket carefully; pop beignets out and flip over onto a parchment paper round.


Place parchment round with beignets back into the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove beignets from the air fryer basket and dust with confectioners' sugar.


I made these followed the instructions. They came out ok no real taste and definitely not like a traditional beignet. These are more the constancy of a cake than an a fluffy pastry/donut. I will continue my search for a air fryer beignet recipe.

We liked them. I'm not familiar with traditional beignets so don't have a comparison. They came out moist kind of cakey inside crunchy outside medium sweet. Reminded me of a mini muffin but with a nice outside crunchiness. I did increase the vanilla slightly and I used a mini muffin pan. (Don't have an egg-bite pan)

I like this recipe. Its very light and will adapt well to other flavors. I really like not having to use grease to fry them.

Did not care for these at all. Too eggy, way too dense. More like a flavorless cake.

Tastes nothing like a beignet. It tastes like a heavy slightly bland cake. I followed the recipe exactly except used a mini muffin pan. Mine were done in 6 minutes (no flipping required) and yielded 10 small bites. Next time, I would add more sugar and more vanilla and a bit of cinnamon. It still wouldn’t taste like a beignet but more like a donut hole. Super easy to make.

Turned out very good! Remember to spray the silicon as they will stick otherwise. My Ninja Foodi needed a couple minutes less time on each of the AF times.

So simple to make. Light and fluffy.  My first attempt,2 got a little done on one side but overall, a success.

These sweet and fluffy beignets are so easy to make in an air fryer!
