Instructions

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder until evenly combined.
• In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg. Add 6 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk and 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted) and stir until blended.
• Stir 3 tablespoons grated yellow onion and 2 tablespoons chopped green onion into the wet mixture.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
• While the batter rests, preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
• Lightly spray the air-fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Using a tablespoon, scoop level tablespoonfuls of batter and drop them into the basket, spacing them so they do not touch. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
• Set the air fryer to 380°F and cook the hush puppies for 4–5 minutes.
• Carefully flip each hush puppy (use tongs or a small spatula) and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove the hush puppies from the air fryer and serve warm.
