Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
- Avocado oil spray, for spraying the donuts
Coating
- ½ cup melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Donuts: Using a donut cutter or a bottle cap, cut out the centers of each biscuit to create donut shapes.
- Spray Donuts with Oil: Lightly spray both sides of your donut shapes with avocado oil to promote browning and prevent sticking.
- Air Fry Donuts: Place the donuts in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown.
- Cook Donut Holes: Use the cut-out centers as donut holes. Spray them with cooking oil and air fry for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare Coatings: While the donuts and holes are cooking, pour the melted butter into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Coat the Donuts: Once cooked, quickly dunk the donuts and donut holes first in the melted butter, then coat them evenly in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the air fryer donuts fresh and warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
- You can substitute butter for a non-dairy alternative if you prefer a dairy-free coating.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract to the cinnamon sugar mix.
- Store leftover donuts in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the air fryer for best texture.
