Make some tasty Easy Air Fryer Donuts with Biscuits in mere minutes!
Are you ready for a great little treat? These Easy Air Fryer Donuts are fabulously made with biscuits. These are actually great for the kids to get involved and help you make too.
They are so simple and easy to customize some of your favorite flavors. We opted for some fun sprinkle coated donuts.
What type of biscuits should you use for Air Fryer Donuts?
It’s best to use flaky biscuits, we used Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits.
Pillsbury Grands really do work the best!
These work perfectly and give that nice, delicious center that you would expect in a donut. Remember though, these are donuts made from biscuits so they will not taste like the deep fried donuts that you pick up out the donut shop in town.
Tips for Making Air Fryer Donuts:
These are easy to make with the prepared biscuits, simply use a small round cookie cutter to cut the center. I actually used a medicine cup that we had never used to make the round center. I saved the dough for donut holes, which my kids loved.
These did not last long!
When making these in the air fryer, I recommend using Coconut Oil Cooking Spray to give them a nice coat of cooking spray when you are preparing them. The basket itself can also be sprayed with cooking spray so they do not stick.
We make these in a Ninja Foodi using the air fryer method for 8 minutes. It allowed them to cook up to a nice, golden brown.
While they are cooking, I whipped up a powdered sugar icing to coat them with and then we picked out some festive sprinkles that just scream summer!
Now, if you are making these in other times of the year, you may want to use different festive sprinkles too.

Very good info. Lucky me I discovered your blog by accident (stumbleupon). I have bookmarked it for later!|
WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by
searching for website
I want to make these but don’t have store bought biscuits. Can I use a homemade biscuit recipe to make the doughnut?
Thanks Jaki
I haven’t tried that with them, but here is one that does them from scratch – https://platedcravings.com/air-fryer-donuts/
Using the cook time in the recipe is a bit much. 6 minutes worked better on my donuts than 8 which overcooked them.
Agreed! 6 min. Was perfect time for my fryer also! Thanx for the heads up!
Great, easy, fast and scrumptious
DELICIOUS & EASY!!!!
I saw these Pillsbury Grands! Sweet Hawaiian Flaky Biscuits and i used them…. since they have a sweeter taste…. came out really good
That sounds so good!
What oil can I use in place of Coconut since I am out of it.
I’d use grapeseed oil spray.
