Easiest Air Fryer Donuts Recipe
Whip up the easiest air fryer donuts using flaky biscuits, cinnamon sugar, and your favorite glaze for a quick, delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated flaky biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Biscuits)
- Preferred topping, glaze, or frosting
- Oil spray for the air fryer basket
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (for topping)
Instructions
- Separate the biscuits and use a 1-inch cutter to create holes in the center. Save the cut-outs for donut holes.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with oil spray. Arrange donuts and donut holes in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
- Air fry at 330°F (165°C) for 6-7 minutes, then gently wiggle and flip. Continue air frying for another 1-3 minutes until golden brown.
- While donuts are warm, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter in a separate bowl.
- Dip warm donuts in melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
- If using glaze or frosting, apply while donuts are still warm.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, homemade air fryer donuts!
Notes
- Use a biscuit cutter that is about 1 inch in diameter for perfect donut holes.
- Ensure donuts are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket for even cooking and crispiness.
- For donut holes, check for doneness around the 4-5 minute mark as they cook faster.
- Experiment with different toppings like chocolate glaze, powdered sugar, or even a cream cheese frosting. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
