Ingredients
  

For the Donuts
  • 1 can Refrigerated Biscuit Dough Feel free to substitute with homemade dough for a personal touch.
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Butter Coconut oil works well for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar For deeper flavor, consider brown sugar.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Can be replaced with nutmeg for a unique twist.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Erythritol powder is a great low-sugar alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk Almond or oat milk are excellent dairy-free choices.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Can still shine without it.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut out the center of each biscuit with a small round cutter to form donut shapes. Save the holes for little bites. Reshape any dough scraps to maximize donuts.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for about 3 minutes.
  3. Air Fry the Donuts: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil. Place donuts in a single layer and air fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
  4. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Brush warm donuts with melted butter, then toss in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  5. Optional Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip tops of each donut in the glaze and set on a wire rack.
