How To Make Air Fryer Gingerbread Donuts
Start by adding your flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ground ginger, salt, and cloves to a large mixing bowl. Then add the softened butter (to soften butter, I either leave it out on the counter for 30 minutes or put it in the microwave for about 15 seconds)
Then add in the brown sugar and eggs Mix in the lemon zest, molasses, and milk. Mix well.
Then spray your silicone donut (see the list of items used in this recipe) and fill it with the prepared batter. Set your air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F, for 9 minutes.
After 9 minutes check the donuts for doneness. If they are not cooked through, then add a minute or two, until cooked through.

I know this is an air fryer sit, but do you know what oven temp and time in a regular oven? I have metal pans that won’t fit in my airfryer.

I have not baked them, but I would say 325 degrees F, for 10-15 minutes.
