Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Donuts

This was such a fun and easy breakfast for the entire family. While my kids are home, they are always rushing in the morning. Mostly, because they do not want to get up! (Teens!) So, I was making a batch, while they were logging on and checking in with their homeroom teacher. Today, I will show you how to make Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Donuts.

If you are new to air frying, this is one of the first recipes that can really get you hooked onto air frying.  It is easy and delicious.

So, you probably have heard about making donuts in your air fryer, they show up if you add air fryer recipes to Pinterest, everyone has a recipe. I have been making them, for years, and I got them to be really good. I had a discussion with my mom since my grandmother used to make these when I was a child. But in the skillet, her only advice was fat dear, you can not take away the grease and get the same result. So, today’s recipe I soaked the donuts into melted butter. I never said it was diet friendly! Your donuts will be so much better.

Here are the simple steps, so you can make them in your own air fryer,

Start out with regular biscuits. I use the homestyle kind.

Use your biscuit cutter (the smallest one) and cut the middle out of the biscuit.

Continue until all of the biscuits are done.

In a small bowl, add your melted butter. Then dip each biscuit into the melted butter, and then place in a greased air fryer basket or on a greased air fryer tray.

Set the time to 5 minutes, at 320 degrees F, (air fryer setting)

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon.

As the donut comes out of the air fryer, dip it immediately into the melted butter and then into the sugar/cinnamon mixture, coating all sides.

Plate, serve, and enjoy!
