    What are Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts?

    I really like how simple this recipe for donuts is!

    Did you try my recipe for Air Fryer Maple Doughnuts With Bacon?

    Those donuts are sweetened with maple syrup and topped with crispy bacon.
    Both this recipe for a basic donut and that recipe for maple syrup and bacon donuts are made from biscuit dough and cooked in an air fryer.

    To make cut out the centers from the biscuits donuts and the donut holes you will need a one inch round cookie cutter.
    You can find a selection of cookie cutters here.

    Why we love this easy donut recipe.

    These recipe is a simple recipe for homemade donuts. There are just six ingredients needed to make this recipe.

    Here is what else we like about this recipe.

    • Using premade biscuit dough makes this recipe a breeze to make (no rising times etc).
    • The dough is already perfectly made and divided into portions.
    • Cooking these donuts in an air fryer means that you do not have to deal with deep frying in oil.
    • Personalizing these donuts is as easy as skipping the glaze and using frosting or cinnamon sugar to top your donuts with.
    • These donuts have less sugar than the average bakery donut has and no oil from frying added to them.
    • Using an air fryer is not only a healthier way to make these, it is a quicker and easier to clean up method.

    Use a 1-inch round cookie cutter to stamp out holes in the center of each biscuit.

    • Biscuits. Refrigerated homestyle, flaky, or grands biscuit dough (the canned 16-17 ounce kind).

    Tips for making the best air fryer donuts.

    Using a small cookie cutter to cut out the donuts makes this recipe even easier to make. If you do not have a small cookie cutter try using a small shot glass or a similar sized item.

    More helpful tips for you.

    1. After cutting out the center of the donuts to make the holes, save the center dough. You can use the holes to make air fried donut holes to enjoy!
    2. When spraying your air fryer basket for nonstick, use a flavorful oil, such as coconut oil spray, to compliment the flavors in the donut.
    3. Using biscuit dough allows your the opportunity to make just one or donut or eight donuts.
    4. Top your glazed donuts with sprinkles to make them even prettier!
    5. While these donuts are best when served warm, it is a good idea to allow the glaze to set first to prevent a mess while enjoying them..
    6. Don't like a sweet glaze on your doughnut? No problem. You can dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar, drizzle melted chocolate over them, or enjoy them with a bit of jam instead

    How to make Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts

    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Air Fry Time: 5 minutes
    Servings : 8 donuts and 8 donut holes .

    Let the glaze set before serving.

    1. Prepare your workspace by laying out a large piece of parchment paper or similar item to work on. Also, take the basket out of your air fryer and lightly spray it with the (coconut) oil spray.
    2. Remove your biscuits from the packaging and then carefully separate them from on another. Place the individual biscuits on your prepared workspace.
    3. Use your cookie cutter to cut out the centers from each of the donuts. You can save the holes to use later if desired.
    4. Place each of the donuts into the prepared air fryer basket so that they do not overlap. Air fry the donuts at 350 for about three minutes and then flip them over. Continue to air fry until the donuts are golden brown (about five minutes total). Then let the donuts cool on a cooling rack.
    5. To make the glaze, use a shallow bowl to combine the glaze ingredients. Once the donuts are fully cooled you can dip them halfway into the glaze and then set them donuts back on to the rack to allow for the glaze to set.

    Expert Tip 👉 When placing your donuts in the air fryer basket, leave enough room between them for the air to circulate. In most egg shaped air fryers, you will be able to fit four donuts. You can air fry this recipe in batches.
