Fresh donuts are a treat that no one can turn down. They are warm, doughy, sweet, and delicious! You can have that fresh donut taste in under 10 minutes in your own kitchen with this simple Air Fryer Donuts Recipe.
How to Make Air Fryer Donuts
These start off with a can of flaky biscuits. You can use homemade biscuit dough but you may not get as fluffy of a result. Just use a round cookie cuter to cut the center (donut hole) out. Brush your air fryer basket with oil and place the biscuit dough in the basket or rack.
Cook these at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes. Then comes the fun part; decide what you want to top your donut with.
Toppings
The donuts can be topped with anything you prefer. These are topped with frosting, but you can also top them with
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Glaze
- Sprinkles
- & More

New appliances can take up space and can be expensive. While donuts might not be enough to make you buy an air fryer, it can make so much more. In fact, I use it more than my oven; especially during the warmer months.
We love our air fryer for cooking French fries, chicken nuggets, or anything frozen that typically needs the oven. It totally out performs. You can also try these
