Easy Air Fryer Baked Chocolate Donuts

Everyone’s favorite homemade Air Fryer Baked Chocolate Donuts. This is a really easy recipe, that everyone can prepare, for their family.

These Easy Air Fryer Baked Chocolate Donuts are really a sweet and easy homemade family treat. My kids absolutely loved them. They reminded my son, Jason of Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Donuts (his favorite).

Air Fryer Chocolate Donuts are so much easier and tastier than biscuit donuts, and you really can make these in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. They come out really moist, and I put a sugar icing coating that really works with the donuts: a true easy Monday morning breakfast or a tasty dessert.

Some Real Pointers About Making Air Fryer Chocolate Donuts

1. Use an excellent cocoa powder. Since you are using such a few ingredients, you should choose a gr, eat one to give you the deep chocolate flavor.
2. I replace the traditional vegetable oil the recipe with melted butter because I really feel that it gives more flavor and brings out the chocolate flavor.
3. The glaze is sweet, but still easy to use, with just a few ingredients. But, it really brings out the flavor of the donut.
