How Long to Air Fry Cake Mix Donuts
My general rule of thumb is to spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan and then air fry at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting for 7-10 minutes.
The exact time will depend on how thick your batter is, what pan you are using and what air fryer you are using.
What Kind Of Donut Pan Should I Use?
This will depend on the model of your air fryer. I have used several. Here are my recommendations for the type of air fryer you own. (affiliate links included)
- For Any Model, this silicone cake donut pan will fit every single air fryer. With a pair of scissors, you can cut it to size.
- If you have a larger-sized air fryer or an air fryer oven, I will invest in a set of these, which are very sturdy and easy to fill.
