Air Fry Donuts


What a treat for breakfast today! Cinnamon Sugar Air Fryer Donuts from Pillsbury Grands Biscuits. Absolutely amazing, I'm sure you are going to fall in love with them! They are super easy to make and require no deep fryer or hot oil!

Ingredients

  • 1 Can Biscuits
  • Melted Butter -  1/2 cup
  • Sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Instructions

    • Remove the biscuits from the can. Then, make a hole in the middle of all of the biscuits using a small round cookie cutter. I didn't have one, so I used a medicine measuring cup that worked perfectly. 
    • Place 4 donuts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. I always use air fryer liners, one on the rack and under it. 
    • Now, put the donuts into the air fryer and cook at 360°F for 3 minutes. Turn them over and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes as needed. 
    • Remove the cooked donuts from the air fryer and transfer them to a plate.
    • Put the sugar and cinnamon on a plate and then mix them together. My measurements are a bunch of sugar and cinnamon on top. LOL
    • Next, brush each donut with melted butter using a pastry brush and then dip then into the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  • I finished off with donut holes. I cooked them for 2 minutes, flipped them, then cooked for 2 additional minutes. 
  • Air fryer donuts from Pillsbury Grands Biscuits will keep at room temperature for up to 4 days covered or in a container. And if you want to warm the leftover donuts, all you have to do is put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds on medium power or in the toaster oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 2 minutes.
