Air Fryer Lemon Poppy Seed Donuts

Air Fryer Lemon Poppy Seed Donuts are amazing. I made a batch today while my kids were doing school. They are light, airy, and delicious.

Typically everyone makes a lemon poppy seed muffin, which I have made in the air fryer, and they come out amazing as well. But everyone loves a great donut, so today, I made a simple batch.

These donuts are packed with flavor. The lemon flavor is a perfect treat, especially when you have a hot cup of coffee while you are eating them! Perfect!
