Description
Discover how to make easy air fryer donuts that are light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet! Made with simple biscuit dough, these donuts are a quick, healthier alternative to deep frying. Customize with cinnamon-sugar, glaze, or chocolate for a delicious breakfast or dessert treat.
Ingredients
For the Donuts:
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (e.g., Pillsbury Grands)
Olive oil spray or melted butter
For the Topping:
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (60g) melted butter
Instructions
- Prep the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes. - Prepare the Donuts:
Open the biscuit can and separate the dough. Use a small round cutter to cut out the centers, forming donut shapes. Save the cutouts for donut holes. - Air Fry the Donuts:
Lightly spray the air fryer basket or brush it with melted butter. Arrange donuts in a single layer. Air fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook donut holes for 2-3 minutes. - Prepare the Topping:
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Brush warm donuts with melted butter, then coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Notes
Use powdered sugar glaze or melted chocolate for variations.
Add sprinkles for a fun touch.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even cooking.
