Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough into 20 walnut-sized balls.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and arrange the dough balls with space between them.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, until beautifully golden and cooked through.
