Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 tube of large refrigerated biscuits 8 each
  • 1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter melted
  • Then decide what coating you want. Below will make half cinnamon sugar & half chocolate

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/2 cup granulated organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp to 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Chocolate Sprinkle Coating

  • 1/3 cup of chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 container of sprinkles

Instructions

  • Take your refrigerated biscuits. Separate them, and flatten them with the palm on your hand on cutting board.
  • Then take a donut cutter like this one or a knife to cut the hole in the center
  • Once air fryer is preheated to 360 degrees, take the tbsp of melted butter and brush it onto each side of the donut. Place each donut into the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes depending on air fryer on each side. Once they get a gold brown on top you can flip them. (you want to make sure they do not get too brown, because you don't want the biscuit dough to dry out) Every air fryer is different but 6 minutes total works for ours.
  • SAVE THOSE DONUT HOLES :) -- use the the dough from the wholes in the donuts when you cut them to make donut hole bites. Do the exact same as above & below cook for 2 minutes each side.

For Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

  • Place granulated sugar & cinnamon in a bowl, whisk until incorporated. Add more cinnamon or sugar to your liking.
  • Add the melted butter to a small bowl
  • Dip the top of your donut in the butter, then the cinnamon sugar mix. Then place on plate, cinnamon sugar side up.

For Chocolate Sprinkle Donuts:

  • Add chocolate chips to bowl, and coconut oil. Heat in 30 second increments depending on microwave, until chocolate is melted
  • Dip the top of your donut in the chocolate. Then place on plate, chocolate sugar side up.
  • Then add sprinkles on top!
