Air Fryer Cinnamon Crumb Donuts — The idea of frying donuts at home might sound intimidating to some, but these air fryer cinnamon crumb donuts are quite easy
Looking for a great way to start your morning off, today, I made a batch of homemade donuts, using my recipe for Air Fryer Cinnamon Crumb Donuts. They are amazing, light, and flavorful.
While most donuts are deep-fried, today, I turned my air fryer into a donut machine! Made with the same ingredients as a crumb cake. They are amazing, light and fluffy, everything that you want in a homemade donut! And best yet, they took only a few minutes to bake up in the air fryer. No need to wait for the oven to preheat. With this batch, it’s amazing. And they are soon going to be one of your family’s favorites!
This is why I love this recipe. They are light, crumbly, and are moist, and absolutely delicious. My kids loved them, and you can make them ahead of time if you are looking for a make-ahead breakfast!
If you are looking for any other donut recipes, my favorites are Air Fryer Blueberry Donuts, Air Fryer Chocolate Frosted Donuts, and of course Air Fryer Puff Pastry Donuts. All of those recipes are amazing and absolutely delicious.

This was my first air fryer donut pan. Since it is made from silicone, you can cut it to any air fryer. And what is better is it is rather inexpensive.
When I purchased my first air fryer oven (Omni Plus), I upgraded to this pan.
