In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined.

Lightly grease the air fryer basket. Scoop or pipe dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each).

Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 7–9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and cooked through.

Brush warm donut holes with melted butter, then toss in cinnamon sugar until evenly coated.

Serve warm.

Don’t overcrowd the air fryer—cook in batches for even browning.
Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped for cleaner, uniform donut holes.
Toss in cinnamon sugar while still warm so the coating sticks better.

Glazed Donut Holes: Skip cinnamon sugar and drizzle with a vanilla glaze instead.
Pumpkin Spice: Add ¼ cup pumpkin purée and ½ tsp pumpkin spice to the batter.
Chocolate Sugar: Replace cinnamon with cocoa powder in the sugar coating.
Apple Cinnamon: Add finely diced apples and a pinch of nutmeg to the batter.
