Description

These easy, fluffy air fryer donuts are made with store-bought biscuit dough and coated in a sweet cinnamon-sugar topping! No deep frying needed—just 10 minutes in the air fryer for a delicious homemade treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat Air Fryer – Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.
  • Cut Out Donuts – Separate the biscuit dough and use a small cookie cutter (or bottle cap) to cut out the center of each biscuit, making a donut shape. Save the holes for donut holes!
  • Air Fry – Place donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Donut holes take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Coat with Butter & Cinnamon Sugar – In a bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Brush warm donuts with melted butter, then dip each one in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Serve & Enjoy – Eat warm for the best taste!

Notes

  • Want a Glaze Instead? Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp milk and drizzle over the donuts.
  • For Extra Crispiness – Air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Storage – Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
