1-Minute Air Fryer Donuts (Printable)

Fluffy donuts air-fried and coated in cinnamon sugar for a quick, golden treat.

# What You Need:

→ Donuts

01 - 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
02 - Nonstick cooking spray

→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating

03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
05 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
02 - Separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits and cut a 1-inch hole in the center of each to form donut shapes, reserving the holes if desired.
03 - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray.
04 - Arrange donuts in a single layer in the basket and air fry for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and puffed. Cook in batches if necessary.
05 - Combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
06 - Brush the cooked donuts immediately with melted butter on all sides, then thoroughly toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
07 - Serve the donuts warm and repeat the cooking process with remaining donuts and donut holes.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Youre nine minutes away from warm donuts without mixing bowls or yeast anxiety
  • The biscuit dough trick creates impossibly fluffy interiors with shatteringly crisp edges
02 -
  • Work quickly when coating donuts because the cinnamon sugar only sticks properly to warm buttered surfaces
  • Overcrowding the air fryer basket creates uneven cooking so always cook in batches if needed
03 -
  • Let donuts cool for literally 30 seconds before coating or the butter melts the sugar into a glaze instead of a crunchy coating
  • Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to reshape the holes before air frying for perfectly round uniform donuts
