How to make air fryer donuts. These are so easy to make for breakfast or for dessert. They take just a few minutes to prep and bake for 4-6 minutes.

air fryer cinnamon sugar doughnuts with canned biscuits

I made mine cinnamon sugar doughnuts, but you can also make them with a glaze or a chocolate icing. I have directions for both in my how to make air fryer donuts from canned biscuits post.

These are very quick and easy to make. They are semi homemade, but they taste just they were made from scratch. They bake up soft and fluffy in the air fryer, just like fried doughnuts.

This makes a small batch of 8, but you can make a few batches at a time. They freeze well if you freeze them without any topping. I use reusable freezer bags for baked goods so I can reuse the bag over and over and it doesn't get messy.

  Possibly Pillsbury or generic brand? I’ve made these in hot oil for many years and always use Pillsbury. Also, I prefer the regular, don’t care to use the grands as they are thick, the outside gets done and the inside is still doughy. Some people suggest using them but they don’t work for me. Also, I used the hole cutting method for years, the part you cut out are ‘used as donut holes’. I’ve also been lazy and just made a hole in the center with my fingers and stretched and made larger donuts. Lol. That’s when I’m being lazy. Finally, I’ve never made these in the AF but am willing to experiment. Good luck.

  You can use any brand or style; but in one of her links, I saw she uses Pillsbury Grands.

  I’m “old school” as well but I think I will give the AF a try ….must admit that the AF blew me away when I experimented with some chicken thighs!
  Less Oil=Healthy; which for a donut lover, like myself, means that I can indulge😁 **I agree on not using the biscuit grands; they don’t cook evenly.

  I would guess the regular type or buttermilk but I’d avoid the flaky ones. Get a roll of each and experiment for us.
  If you don’t like them then feed the birds with them!
  
  I keep extra rolls of biscuits in the fridge for my cheater chicken and dumplings, as I just drop the raw biscuit rounds on my chicken/onion/celery stew after the chicken has fallen off the bone. Cover to “bake” the biscuits and you have a meal you don’t have to stand over to prepare.
