Air Fryer Donuts Recipe

How to Make Air Fryer Donuts

• STEP 1.Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a bowl—flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture and stir until you form a dough.

• STEP 1.Once your dough is ready, roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Aim for about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes, or if you don’t have one, use a cup to make the outer circle and a smaller one to make the hole in the center.

• STEP 2.Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). While the air fryer heats up, place your donuts into the fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other. If needed, lightly spray the basket with non-stick spray.

• STEP 3.Air fry the donuts for about 6-8 minutes or until they’re golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside. Check them halfway through to make sure they’re cooking evenly.

• STEP 4.While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them into the glaze for that classic, sweet finish.

• STEP 5.Place your glazed donuts on a cooling rack or plate and let the glaze set for a few minutes. Enjoy them fresh, and feel free to add your favorite toppings like sprinkles or a dusting of powdered sugar. These are perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack any time of the day!
