These Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts offer a delicious and guilt-free way to indulge in your donut cravings. They come out golden brown and beautiful, just like their deep-fried version. They’re also quicker and easier to make, as you don’t have to deal with hot oil. You can glaze them, dust them with cinnamon sugar, or get creative with other toppings.

Instructions

Remove the biscuits from the can and use a small biscuit cutter or sharp knife to cut out the center of the biscuit. Save the cut outs and use them to make donut holes.

Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray

Place 4 biscuits in your air fryer (more or less, depending on the size of your air fryer). Cook for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.

Once done cooking, remove. Allow to slightly cool as they will be hot.

Place your butter in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together your cinnamon and sugar.

Dip both sides of your donut in the butter, then immediately dip both sides in your cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside.

Repeat steps 1 – 4 until all of your biscuits are cooked, and dipped in cinnamon sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Perfect Dough Cutting 🔪
Use a clean, sharp drinking glass or round cookie cutter to create uniform donut shapes from biscuit dough, ensuring even cooking and professional-looking results.
Spray Technique Mastery 💨
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray before adding donuts to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal with a golden crispy exterior.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating Pro Tip 🍬
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl beforehand, and while donuts are still warm from the air fryer, quickly roll them to help the coating adhere perfectly.
Avoid Overcrowding 🍩
Cook donuts in batches, leaving at least half an inch of space between each piece to ensure crisp, evenly cooked surfaces with proper air circulation.
Butter Brush Finish 🧈
Brush warm donuts lightly with melted butter right after air frying to enhance flavor and help additional toppings stick more effectively.
