Air fryer doughnuts are a delightful and simple way to enjoy a sweet treat without all the calories and fat of deep-fried donuts. This recipe utilizes refrigerated buttermilk biscuits to produce the donuts, which means there is no need to knead dough or let it rise. The donuts are fried in the air fryer for only a few minutes, so they come out light and fluffy.

Tips

For a distinct taste, you might try using other kinds of sugar, such as brown sugar or powdered sugar.

You may also add various toppings to the doughnuts, like sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts.

If you don’t have an air fryer, you may bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
