“Healthy Airfryer Rain Cake – Crispy Recipe Without Frying!”

The bolinho de chuva is one of those recipes that carry a childhood flavor, bringing to mind rainy afternoons accompanied by hot coffee.

Traditionally fried and covered in sugar and cinnamon, it may seem like a villain to those looking for a balanced diet.

With that in mind, we brought a version healthier and more nutritious, without losing the crunchiness and irresistible flavor.

Here, we replace frying with Airfryer, drastically reducing the use of oil, and we use ingredients that make the cake lighter and richer in fibers, like the oat flour and zero greek yogurt.
