Ingredients Needed

• All-Purpose Flour: Provides the base for the biscuit dough.

• Baking Powder: Gives the biscuits their lift and fluffiness as they cook.
• Salt: Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
• Ground Cinnamon: Optional for added flavor.
• Butter: Incorporates richness and moisture into the biscuits.
• Granulated Sugar: Adds sweetness to the dough.
• Buttermilk: Helps bind the dough together and adds moisture.
• Blueberries: Infuses bursts of fresh, juicy flavor into every bite.
• Powdered Sugar and Milk: For the icing.

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Biscuits

Step One: Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and ground cinnamon in a large bowl. Use your mixer to blend in the shortening. Slowly add the buttermilk and mix well. Once the dough starts forming a ball, stop mixing.

Step Two: Fold in the blueberries. I used my hands to get everything well blended. Flour the work surface and rolling pin and roll out the dough.

Step Three: Cut out the biscuits using a 2 3/4-inch biscuit cutter. Then, place the formed biscuits in a greased air fryer. Set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, and set cook time for 6-9 minutes.

Step Four: Let cool slightly before drizzling the icing over the biscuits.

Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Biscuits Recipe Tips

• Keep Butter/Shortening Cold: Cold fat creates flakier biscuits. Don’t let it soften too much before mixing.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix just until the dough comes together. Overmixing makes biscuits dense instead of light and fluffy.
• Flour Your Surface Lightly: Prevents sticking without toughening the dough. Too much flour can make the biscuits dry.
• Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen, toss them in a little flour to prevent bleeding into the dough.
• Air Fry in a Single Layer: Avoid overcrowding for even cooking and golden-brown tops.
• Adjust Cooking Time if Needed: Air fryer models vary; check biscuits a minute or two before the minimum time.
• Optional Sweet Touch: Brush warm biscuits with melted butter and a light dusting of sugar for extra flavor.

Storing Instructions

• Room Temperature: Store completely cooled biscuits in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
• Freezer: Wrap individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes or until warmed through.

Easy Air Fryer Blueberry Biscuits Recipe Faqs

Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes! Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer, but reduce the mixing time slightly to avoid breaking them and turning the dough purple.

How do I keep the biscuits soft? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or cover with foil and warm before serving.

Can I add lemon zest or other flavors? Yes! Lemon zest, vanilla extract, or a pinch of cinnamon works beautifully to enhance the flavor.

Can I double the recipe? You can, but cook in batches so your air fryer doesn’t get overcrowded, ensuring even cooking.
