Description

These air fryer donuts are chocolate-glazed donuts plus they are so much healthier than deep fried donuts! Less oil. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 16..3 oz tube of Pillsbury Canned Biscuits 
  • 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup of cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1 tsp of vanilla
  • red and green sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Place biscuits on the cutting board. With 1-inch round cookie cutter, cut hole in center of each biscuit. Dip all sides of biscuits and center into butter; shake off excess butter. Place 4 biscuits in air fryer basket, spacing apart.
  2. Set air fryer to 370°F; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until biscuit tops are deep golden brown. Using tongs or a spatula, turn over each biscuit. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until deep golden brown and cooked through. Remove from air fryer; cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking second batch. Cook as directed above for remaining 4 biscuits. Remove from air fryer; cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking centers.
  3. Place 8 biscuit centers in bottom of air fryer basket. Set air fryer to 370°F; cook 2 minutes. Using tongs or spatula, turn over each biscuit center. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until deep golden brown and cooked through.
  4. In small bowl, mix Glaze ingredients. Turn each doughnut upside down, and dip halfway into glaze. Let any excess drip off, then transfer right side up to cooling rack or serving plate. Serve warm.

Notes

If you don't add any frosting to the top these will taste like plain biscuits. 

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket with biscuits. Will have to cook in batches.
