Donuts Recipes

Simple air fryer donut recipe + our summer of donuts

how to make easy air fryer donuts, easy biscuit donut recipe, ninja foodie donut recipe, air fryer donut recipe, homemade donuts, easy homemade donuts

If you followed along last year, then you know that my son, Zeke, and I tackled a wholllllle summer of homemade ice cream sandwiches. Each week we would look at our list of flavor ideas and pick out an idea and get stared with the ice cream base and the cookie (or brownie or waffle or donut……..). It was a GIANT success IMO…..I mean, who doesn’t LOVE a whole summer of tasting yummy cookies and perfecting our ice cream base recipe!? šŸ™‚

SOOOOOOO! This year, Zeke asked to do it again! AND since we have been trying to nail down our best and most favorite homemade donuts for the past few months, what better way than to make the the SUMMER OF DONUTS?!?!?! šŸ™‚ We have our flavor ideas on a big list and will tackle our recipes each week……some with fillings, some with add-ons, some with a simple classic flavor. Our goal is to walk away from this summer with fun in the kitchen and some sugary treats in our tummies! šŸ™‚ And today, I started off this big adventure (he has a sleepover from the last day of school, so he wasn’t much help and I decided to kick this off with a fun-ol-bang) with a simple, *literal* 15 minute EASY air fryer donut recipe using store-bought biscuits.
(like for real, you can whip this up and wow your family in less than 20 minutes)! šŸ™‚

These EASY biscuit air fryer donuts are GOOOOOOOOD! We’ve been testing out yeast air fryer donut recipes and those are like just one step below the fluffiness and softness of these (I am DETERMINED to *NAIL* our own homemade recipe soon though)! And do I even have to mention just how easy it is to simply pull the dough out of the fridge and get to frying right away?! šŸ™‚ Like, SO EASY! šŸ™‚

So, next time you are at the store, I suggest you grab a few packages of these Pillsbury Grand biscuits so that you can pull them out and make them whenever the inspiration strikes! šŸ™‚

**NOTE, we decided to roll the dough out just a bit so that the cookie cutter letters could fit, this step isn’t necessary if you are just making regular circles and donut holes šŸ™‚

Easy air fryer donuts

Use store-bought biscut dough to make delicious and SUPER EASY air fryer donuts!

Servings: 6
Ingredients
  • 1 package Pillsbury Grand Buscuits
Dark Chocolate glaze
  • 2 tbs cocoa powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbs almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 splash vanilla or almond extract
Cinnamon/Sugar coating
  • ground cinnamon
  • granulated sugar
  • 4 tbs melted butter
Instructions
  1. Pull donuts out of the container, lay them on a cutting board and cut to desired shape. You MUST cut them at least with a round cutter (donut hole) out of the center because the entire biscuit WILL NOT cook in the fryer all the way through with the right consistency.

  2. Prep your air fryer by turning it to 350* and spray your fryer basket with non-stick spray.

  3. Place enough donuts in the fryer leaving enough room around each so that they have a chance to "puff up" and cook without touching. Cook until just golden brown on the edges.

    (Note that each air fryer is a bit different. Ours took 3-4 minutes at 350* with the Ninja Foodie. ANNNNNND also note that the first batch alway takes just a touch longer, because everything is reaching tempterature inside the fryer).

  4. Remove and let cool

Make glaze/coating
  1. To make the cinnamon sugar coating: mix ground cinnamon and granulated sugar together in a larger bowl. (mix almost equal parts, with just a bit more sugar than cinnamon)

    Melt butter in a smaller, microwave safe bowl.

    Once the donuts are cooled, roll them around in the butter and then toss with cinnamon/sugar mixture! šŸ™‚

  2. To make chocolate glaze: sift your cocoa powder and poweded sugar together in a bowl (IMPORTANT step to make sure your glaze isn't lumpy). Then mix in your milk + extract until the conistancy is thick, but "dipable".

    Once the donuts are cooled, dip them by turning them upside down and dipping the top in and out of the chocolate glaze. ANDDDD you can even allow the glaze to set and dip a 2nd time if you are ambitious and can wait without gobbling them up! šŸ™‚

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebratešŸŽ‰ 
Also, every time I cracked an egg this weekend, I squealed in the sound or noise that I thought the personality of the egg would sound šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ obvi.
I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over i I would PICKle you as my Valentine over and over if I could! šŸ˜‚
Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ā¤ļø

The alternate caption could also be ā€œyup…..it’s a Valentine pickle. Because my kids are obsessed with vinegar soaked veggies. Just swipe for the Halloween pickle proof šŸ„’ ā€œ

Except of course inserting many phrases in place of the ā€œwe don’t talk about Brunoā€ song…..ya know, ā€œwe don’t talk about dishes no no nooooo. We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.ā€ šŸ  šŸŽØ šŸ’› 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart šŸ˜­ā¤ļø
ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas šŸŽ„ I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways šŸ˜‚)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall šŸŽ‰šŸŽØ
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the ā€œshoulddasā€. Especially during this season of intentional slowing down and anticipating the arrival of Christmas. 
Download this coloring advent village and take a few min away to color each house and talk about the season and the way you can shine light! 
PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļøšŸŽ„
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now.
