If you’re looking for fun new recipe ideas for your Air Fryer these Easy Air Fryer Donuts are a must-make! Flaky biscuits cook up perfectly with a crispy exterior and fluffy layers inside, and are topped with vanilla glaze, cinnamon sugar, or chocolate ganache for a delicious treat.
Use a 1-inch round cookie cutter to stamp out holes in the center of each biscuit.
Brush the basket of an air fryer with coconut oil. Place 4 donuts in the air fryer and air fry at 350F until the donuts are puffed and golden, about 4 to 6 minutes, checking at 4 minutes. Cook the remaining donuts the same way, and then cook the round centers the same way to make donut holes.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, and water in a medium bowl.
Dip the top of each donut in glaze and then place it in a wire rack so the excess glaze can drip off.
Let the glaze set before serving.
