Soft and fluffy air fryer donuts made effortlessly using refrigerated biscuit dough, then coated with a sweet cinnamon sugar blend for a quick and delicious homemade treat.

  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 8 donuts

Ingredients

Donuts

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat to ensure even cooking of the donuts.
  2. Prepare Donuts: Take each biscuit from the dough can and cut out the center hole to form donut shapes.
  3. Arrange Donuts: Place the donuts in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap to allow hot air to circulate evenly.
  4. Air Fry Donuts: Cook the donuts in the air fryer for 5 to 6 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
  5. Brush with Butter: Once cooked, brush each donut with the melted butter to add flavor and help the sugar adhere.
  6. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
  7. Coat Donuts: While still warm, roll the donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  8. Serve: Enjoy the warm, freshly coated cinnamon sugar donuts immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can cook the donut holes alongside the donuts for a tasty bonus treat.
  • For a variation, try topping the donuts with a glaze instead of cinnamon sugar.
