Air fryer donuts are one of the easiest recipes to make at home. I am currently obsessed with trying new recipes out in my Air Fryer. It’s been fun experimenting and adding to our breakfast recipe rotation. When I told my daughter we were going to make donuts she squealed with excitement. She couldn’t believe we could make our own donuts. What I love about these donuts is that they aren’t super sweet. They are fairly simple and do not include a heavy glaze.
How to make Air Fryer donuts in less than 20 minutes
Simple Sugar Cinnamon donut ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 (16.3 ounce) can flaky large biscuits
Olive Oil Spray
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Recipe instructions
Combine sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the biscuits and place them on the baking sheet. Use a biscuit cutter to cut the holes out of the middle of each biscuit. Save the middle pieces to make donut holes later.
Coat the air fryer basket with olive oil.
Place donuts in a single layer of air fryer basket. Do not overlap them or let them get to close to each other.
Cook for 5 minutes with the air fryer set to 350°F., flipping halfway through until donuts are gold and not too brown. Transfer finished donuts to another baking sheet. Repeat steps with the remaining dough.
Then, cook the donut holes for approximately 3 minutes.
Using a basting brush both sides of warm donuts with melted butter. Then, place it in the cinnamon sugar and flip to coat both sides. Enjoy! It’s that easy!
