An Awesome 4-Minute Air Fryer Sugar Doughnut
I’ve got an awesome 4-Minute Air Fryer Sugar Doughnut Recipe. Are you hungry yet? What about if I tell you that you probably won’t find an easier or faster recipe! Plus, your family will be super impressed with your skills. (Just don’t tell them how easy these actually are to make!)
Even though I’m fairly new to the air fryer life, I’m already a huge fan. If for none other than saving me $20+ every time we go to the movies. NOT that I actually take these donuts with us. But I no longer have to purchase the over-priced ones at the theater anymore! I just have them at home before we go. And the kids are also completely satisfied with that compromise as well.
Quick Air Fryer Doughnuts cure your craving for donuts when you don’t want to leave home. Make them cinnamon and sugar or glazed.
Am I right?
But, the calories and the carbs.
And the greasy feeling you get after indulging.
To prevent the donuts from sticking, you’ll want to spray the air fryer basket with just a bit of oil. Avoid a nonstick cooking spray such as Pam, which can damage the nonstick coating of the basket. Instead, opt for an olive oil or coconut oil spray (which are also both great for spraying onto homemade popcorn).
After cutting small holes out of the center of your biscuits, you’ll place them in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer (depending on the size of your fryer, you’ll likely need to make the donuts in two rounds), then set to 350°F and cook, flipping once, until golden-brown. Then, go ahead and fry up the donut holes, too!
While they’re still warm, I like to brush the donuts with butter and toss them in cinnamon-sugar. But these would also be great with a simple powdered-sugar glaze and a dousing of sprinkles. You truly can’t go wrong.

INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can flaky large biscuits, such as Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Biscuits
- Olive oil spray or coconut oil spray
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl; set aside.
- Remove the biscuits from the can, separate them, and place them on the baking sheet. Use a 1-inch round biscuit cutter (or similarly-sized bottle cap) to cut holes out of the center of each biscuit.
- Lightly coat an air fryer basket with olive or coconut oil spray (do not use nonstick cooking spray such as Pam, which can damage the coating on the basket).
- Place 3 to 4 donuts in a single layer in the air fryer (they should not be touching). Close the air fryer and set to 350°F. Cook, flipping halfway through, until the donuts golden-brown, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer donuts place to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining biscuits. You can also cook the donut holes — they will take about 3 minutes total.
- Brush both sides of the warm donuts with melted butter, place in the cinnamon sugar, and flip to coat both sides. Serve warm.
