Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts 🍩
Quick and easy air fryer donuts made from refrigerated biscuits. Perfect for a delicious, lighter treat without frying!
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Small circular cookie cutter
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
BISCUITS
- 1 package refrigerated biscuits (8 count) plain variety
GLAZE
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- sprinkles (optional, for fun!)
Instructions
- Gently remove the biscuits from their package. Place them on a lightly floured surface. Using a small circular cookie cutter (or even a large piping tip), carefully cut out the center of each biscuit to create your donut shapes and donut holes.
- Arrange up to four biscuit donuts in your air fryer basket, making sure they aren't touching each other. Cook them at 365°F (185°C) for about 6 to 7 minutes, or until they reach a beautiful golden brown color, just like traditional fried donuts.
- Once cooked, transfer the golden donuts to a wire rack to cool down while you air fry any remaining batches.
- If you'd like to enjoy the cute donut holes, place them in the air fryer at 365°F (185°C) for a quick 3 to 4 minutes until they're golden.
- While your donuts are cooling, combine the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth, creamy glaze.
- Allow the donuts to cool completely before dipping them into the vanilla glaze (this prevents the glaze from melting right off!). If you're feeling festive, add some sprinkles on top. Serve immediately for a delicious, lighter treat!
