These Air Fryer Donuts are made with canned biscuits and coated with cinnamon sugar. It’s a quick and easy way to make delicious breakfast pastry. Bonus, you can also make donuts holes too!
Spray the air fryer basket or racks with coconut oil cooking spray. See note below.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
¼ cup granulated sugar, ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Remove biscuits from a can and layer on a cutting board.
8 canned biscuits
With a frosting tip or small cookie cutter (about 1" in diameter), cut out the center of each biscuit. Save the holes!
Place 4 biscuits/donuts in an air fryer basket or rack.
Bake at 360° for 7 minutes. No preheating necessary. If you preheat your air fryer, bake for 5 minutes only.
Brush each donut with melted butter. If you dip them, too much butter will melt the sugar and cinnamon coating.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Dip in cinnamon sugar to coat.
Serve while still warm.
To make donut holes: place them on air fryer rack and bake for 2 to 3 minutes OR until golden and light brown. Dip in butter and cinnamon sugar and serve.
Notes
Vegetable oil spray tends to damage the finish in the air fryer.
One serving is one donut.
