Air Fryer Jelly Donuts-These are truly amazing in the air fryer. Filled with strawberry and fried in the air fryer, and it’s all wrapped up with a sugar coating. What could be better?

My family is always looking for dessert or breakfast, which screams out delicious but without spending hours in the kitchen. I came up with these, and they are so good. The first time I made them, I didn’t take pictures. My kids just grabbed them and walked out of the kitchen. So, by the time I made the second batch, they were so easy to make.

If you love a great jelly donut, this is the recipe for you. Filled with your choice of jam, today I used strawberry because that is what I had in the refrigerator. They are amazing!

How To Make Air Fryer Jelly Donuts

Ingredients Needed:

Buttermilk biscuits, found in the refrigerated section–I usually use Grands.
Granulated Sugar
Ground Cinnamon
Butter
Strawberry Jam

How To Make Air Fryer Jelly Donuts (any flavor jam)

Layout the buttermilk biscuits.

Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray, so they don’t stick.

Place the biscuits into the air fryer basket.

Air Fry for 7 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting.

While the donuts are air frying, mix in a small bowl the sugar and cinnamon.

In another small bowl, place the butter and microwave until it’s melted.

Fill your injector up with strawberry jelly. I mixed mine in a small bowl until it was loosened, as it was easier to fill the injector.

As the donuts come out of the air fryer, roll them in the butter, then the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Use the injector to fill with jelly. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Common Questions Asked About Making Air Fryer Jelly Donuts-

CAN I USE FLAKY LAYER BISCUITS IN THIS RECIPE?

While you can, if that is all that you can find, I would strongly recommend using a regular biscuit. As you fill the donuts with the jam, they will come apart. So, for this recipe, reach for the regular biscuits.

WHAT KIND OF JELLY IS USED IN JELLY DONUTS?

You can use any of your favorite jam or preserves for this recipe. For today’s recipe, I used strawberry jam, which is my son’s favorite.

My other son’s favorite jelly donut is because he absolutely loves a Dunkin Donuts Jelly Donut, using raspberry preserves. But use whatever your favorite is and whatever you have on hand!

(By the way, Jelly donuts in Dunkin Donuts are really made from a blend of apple and raspberry jelly filling)

DO I REALLY NEED A INJECTOR TO FILL THESE?

No, but truthfully if you are going to make these repeatedly, it’s best to have the best tools on hand for the job.

I have used a Ziploc bag filled with strawberry jam and then cut the tip-off. You can easily fill it that way!

HOW TO TURN THESE INTO AN AIR FRYER SUFGANIYOT

If you are unfamiliar with Sufganiyot, it is a Jewish jelly donut, typically served at Hanukkah.

IF you want to change a few ingredients by reducing the sugar amount and then adding powdered sugar as a coating, that will work.
