Air Fryer Donuts Recipe

Air Fryer Donuts recipe is here to satisfy your sweet tooth with a light and fluffy texture that you won’t believe came from an air fryer. These doughnuts are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack anytime. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Mix well then gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters (one large and one small) to cut out doughnut shapes. Re-roll any scraps to make more doughnuts.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place a few doughnuts in the basket, making sure they are not touching. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry the doughnuts for 5-6 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. While the doughnuts are cooking, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.

Stir until smooth. Once the doughnuts are done, let them cool for a few minutes. Dip the tops of the doughnuts into the glaze and place them on a wire rack to set. You can also add sprinkles or other toppings if desired. These treats are perfect for any occasion, and the best part is that they’re made with less oil, making them a healthier option compared to traditional fried doughnuts. Enjoy your homemade doughnuts with a cup of coffee or tea, and share the love with family and friends.
