Store your leftover donut twists in an air tight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5. To reheat them, just pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds or in the oven at 350 for 5 minutes or so.
Certainly! Air fry these at 375 for about 6-8 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line and medium size baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. It’s easiest to use your hands. It will seem dry at first but I promise after you keep needing it, it will come together! Add another tablespoon of Greek yogurt if it seems too dry.
Place the dough onto a flowered surface. Knead a few times and then divide into eight pieces. Roll out each piece into a longer strand and then wrap it around twice to make your twist. Bake for 10 minutes.
While those are in the oven, make your cinnamon sugar topping by combining some cinnamon and monk fruit sweetener in a small bowl.
Brush the melted butter on the cinnamon twist, and coat in cinnamon “sugar”. Enjoy!
