Description

These heavenly Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts are golden, fluffy, and ready in minutes. A quick and cozy breakfast treat that’s healthier than deep frying, with endless topping options like glaze, sugar, or sprinkles. Perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch!


Ingredients

For the Donuts:

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

  • Cooking spray or a light coating of oil

For the Glaze (Optional):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons milk (or non-dairy alternative)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Sprinkles (optional)


Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough – Open the biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Cut a small hole in the center of each to form a donut shape.

  • Preheat – Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

  • Coat Basket – Spray or lightly oil the air fryer basket.

  • Air Fry – Arrange donuts in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.

  • Make the Glaze – Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust consistency with more sugar or milk as needed.

 

  • Glaze & Serve – Let donuts cool slightly, dip in glaze, and top with sprinkles if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!


Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the basket for even cooking.

  • Add cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for extra flavor.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

 

  • Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to restore crispiness.
