I am sure you have seen the commercials for Uncrustables. It is a sandwich that comes in an individual package that has its own built-in wrapper so it can be eaten without getting your hands dirty or messy.

I recently got to try them, and they are delicious! They also come in two different flavors, chocolate iced with sprinkles and raspberry jam filling and strawberry icing with strawberry jam filling. But what if you want more than just one flavor? Never fear because now there’s something called uncrustable donuts.

These donuts come in jelly-filled, perfect for a donut! This is so good! This is one of the most kid-friendly breakfasts that you will find!

Air Fryer Uncrustable Donuts Recipe Tips

• Any air fryer -this recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. This will also work in other Air Fryers such as Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, or Instant Pot Crisp Lid.
• Use frozen or thawed Uncrustables — both work, but thawed cook slightly faster and crisp more evenly.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket — leave space for the air to circulate so the donuts crisp properly.
• Flip halfway through cooking to ensure even browning on both sides.
• Brush with melted butter immediately after air frying so the cinnamon sugar sticks better.
• Customize the coating — try powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate for fun variations!
• Serve warm for the best soft and crispy texture.
