Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces canned biscuits like Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Spray the air fryer basket or racks with coconut oil cooking spray. Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Remove canned biscuits from the can and layer on a cutting board. With a frosting tip or small cookie cutter (about 1 inch in diameter), cut out the center of each biscuit. Save the holes!
  • Place 4 biscuits/donuts in an air fryer basket or rack.
  • Bake at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 7 minutes. No preheating necessary. If you preheat your air fryer, bake for 5 minutes only.
  • Brush each donut with melted unsalted butter. If you dip them, too much butter will melt the sugar and cinnamon coating.
  • Dip in cinnamon sugar to coat and serve while still warm.
  • To make donut holes: place them on air fryer rack and bake for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and light brown. Dip in butter and cinnamon sugar and serve.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Vegetable oil spray tends to damage the finish in the air fryer.
  • Tip 2: One serving is one donut.
  • Tip 3: The nutrition value can vary depending on what product you use. Always use a calorie counter you are familiar with.
