Air Fryer Donut Bites

This Air Fryer Donut Bites recipe starts with canned biscuit dough for the easiest air fryer dessert you can make.

The air fryer is great for cooking up frozen foods or making delicious, healthier “fried” foods like chicken wings.

You can also make some really great desserts in it too, like these cinnamon donut holes.

Can I Make Full Sized Donuts with this Recipe?

To make full-sized donuts in your air fryer from biscuit dough, simply cut the centers out.

Use a 1″ round cookie cutter or a knife, then place the biscuits in the air fryer as directed.

Don’t forget the donut holes too!

Ingredients for Air Fryer Donut Bites

Biscuit dough – Any pre-made, canned biscuit dough will work. I personally prefer Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers original biscuits.

Oil – I used vegetable oil but any neutral flavoured oil is fine.

Butter – I used salted butter here, just us what you have on hand.

Sugar – Just white, granulated Sugar.

Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon.
