Easy Air Fryer Donuts

Easy Air Fryer Donuts

Ingredients

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For Cinnamon Sugar

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Or for Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Separate the biscuits and use a small round cutter or bottle cap to remove the center of each, creating donut shapes. Save the holes.
  3. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  4. Arrange the donuts in a single layer, leaving space between them.
  5. Air fry for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Cook the donut holes for 3–4 minutes.
  6. Brush the warm donuts with melted butter.

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then coat the buttered donuts while they’re still warm.

Vanilla Glaze

Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

  • Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook in batches if needed.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to the cinnamon sugar.
  • Enjoy warm for the best texture.
