  • Preheat air fryer to 375 for 3-5 minutes
  • Open can and take biscuits apart.
  • Cut hole in center of each biscuit with a round cookie cutter.
  • Grease bottom of air fryer with coconut oil or other oil. Do not use cooking spray as that may ruin the fryer basket
  • Place donuts in air fryer basket, spreading them apart so the air can circulate around the donuts.

  • Cook for another 2.5 - 3 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While donuts are cooking, melt butter
  • Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Remove donuts from air fryer and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush on butter, then dip each donut into the cinnamon sugar mixture, coating all sides.
  • You'll have left over "holes" from the middle of the donuts. Roll them into balls in your hands.
  • Place donut holes in fryer basket and cook for 2-3 minutes. You can shake after a minute to make sure they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Dip donut holes in butter, then cinnamon sugar.
