How To Make Air Fryer Fruity Pebbles Donuts

Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, milk, sour cream, eggs, melted butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

Spray your donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Then pour the prepared batter into the donut pan, filling about 2/3 way full. Set the pan into the air fryer basket for 10-12 minutes at 320 degrees F (air fryer setting). Allow the donuts to cool before icing them.

To make the icing: In a small bowl, mix the milk, powdered sugar, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Then dip the donuts into the icing and scatter the Fruity Pebbles on top.

Pro Tips:

Let the batter chill for about 30 to 60 minutes before air frying; let the dough firm up.
Make sure that you thoroughly coat the donut mold with cooking spray before filling the mold; this way, the donut will pop out.
Cover the donut with sprinkles while the frosting is wet. Otherwise, the sprinkles will not stick.
Store any uneaten donuts in an airtight container so they do not dry out.
