I love a great homemade donut with my morning coffee. These make the perfect breakfast for everyone. My kids were in love at first bite.

If you have never made homemade donuts before, do not fret, this is a simple and easy recipe. And they baked up perfectly in the Air Fryer.

One of the best things about baking in the air fryer, besides being simple, is that the baked goods come out light, fluffy, and delicious.

TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT AIR FRYER DONUTS

  • Another great topping for these donuts is a mixture of ground cinnamon and granulated sugar together.
  • Allow the donuts to completely cool before glazing them, otherize the glaze will runoff.
  • Place the donuts on a rack to let the glaze runoff; this will ensure an even coating.
  • Only fill about 2/3 way full. If you overfill them, they will bubble over, and they will be difficult to remove from the donut pan.
  • You can make the batter in advance. I would advise making it the night before you need it and then covering and refrigerating until the next morning.

CAN I ADD FRUIT INTO THE BATTER IN THIS RECIPE?

Yes, if you want to add small berries to this recipe, that would work perfectly. I would suggest either strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries.

If you want frozen fruit in this recipe, I would add them in frozen.

HOW LONG WILL THESE DONUTS LAST?

Truthfully, they don’t last long in my house. My kids gobble them up, but here is the best way if you are looking to store leftovers.

Place them into an airtight container and place them on the counter for about 2 to 3 days. For any more extended storage, put them into the refrigerator.

CAN I FREEZE BLUEBERRY LEMON DONUTS?

Yes, if you want to make a batch and keep them in the freezer, that’s a great idea. I usually make a big batch on Sunday and then use them for a great and easy breakfast or snack in the next few weeks.

They will last for about 1 to 2 months. To use, place into the refrigerator overnight. I do not add icing until they are defrosted.
