This morning, I needed to come with something for breakfast, so I looked at my kitchen table and decided today, I would be making a fresh batch of Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Banana Donuts.
If you have never tried banana donuts, they are light and sweet breakfast donuts and wrapped in a cinnamon-sugar coating! It’s a great and easy breakfast.
Why Air Fry Donuts?
They are so much healthier than deep-frying and much quicker than waiting for the oven to preheat, plus it is fun! The air fryer brought back the joy in my kitchen, and I am sure in some kitchens in America.
You get the flavor of deep-frying, without the calories and fat from the grease. And although you still use sugar, you use a lot less sugar in these donuts than a regular donut recipe. The banana adds sweetness, to the donut, without added sugar.
Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Banana Donuts
Ingredient Used:
Here are the steps, so that you can make it in your own air fryer,
- 1 1/4 cup flour (all-purpose)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup room temperature butter
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 bananas (ripe)
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
Simple Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar and mix well.
Add the room temperature butter, egg, vanilla extract, and mix well. Then add in your bananas and Greek yogurt.
Mix well, remembering to scrape the sides.
Generously spray your donut mold with olive oil spray.
Fill the molds, about 2/3 the way full.
Set in the air fryer. Set temperature to 320 degrees F, for 12-14 minutes. (air fryer setting)
Let them rest about 5 minutes, then coat them in melted butter and then the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
Some Common Questions Asked About Air Fryer Cinnamon Sugar Banana Donuts,
Tips For Making Donuts in the Air Fryer.
- Do not overfill the donut pan. I usually recommend only adding the batter about 3/4 the way full. If you fill anymore the donuts will expand, and you will have a hard time removing the donuts. They will just become a glob in the pan.
- Coat the donuts while they are still warm.
- If you would like to make these in advance, make the batter, and then place it in the refrigerator. The batter will stay for about 24 hours.
How Long Do These Donuts Last?
They should last about 2 days, just place them in an airtight container. If you have any leftover after 2 days you can stick them into the refrigerator for another couple of days.
How Do I Clean My Air Fryer?
Usually, the basket is removable, and then hand wash the basket, it will last longer than throwing it in the dishwasher.
Remember always to check the owner’s manual for their recommendations for cleaning. Since every air fryer is different, you want to make sure that you are following their tips, as it will last you longer.

One of the greatest finds that I found for the air fryer, was this silicone donut mold, which is for regular-sized donuts. You can simply cut them out to fit your air fryer. So if you can fit two donut molds into the air fryer, cut out two. If you have a larger air fryer you may be able to fit the entire pan.

When you go about coating your donuts, the best way to make the coating stick and dry on the donuts. If you have a cooling rack, as you coat them, just place them on them, until they are dried.
