Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 1in Round Cookie Cutter I used the cap to an almond milk container.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuit Dough pillsbury, trader joe's, etc
  • Avocado Oil Spray to make sure they do not stick to the air fryer

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 powdered sugar
  • 5 tbsp Pure Maple Syrup

Cinnamon Sugar Donuts

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 5 tbsp butter melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Air Fryer to 360F
  • Use a 1" cookie cutter to remove the center of each biscuit. You will have 8 donuts and 8 donut holes.
  • Spray air fryer with avocado or coconut oil cooking spray before you place the donuts in the air fryer.
  • Place donuts in the Air Fryer. I had to cook the donuts in two batches and then I cooked the donut holes together in a third batch.
  • While the donuts are cooking, make your topping. If you are making a maple glaze, mix together the two ingredients in a bowl to form a glaze. If you are making the cinnamon sugar, melt the butter in a bowl first, and combine the cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl.
  • Cook donuts for 5 minutes and cook donut holes for 3 minutes
  • Once donuts are cooking, either dip them in the maple glaze OR dip them in butter and then the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Notes

I also sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar on my maple glazed donuts and that was also delicious. 
These donuts are best eaten immediately. When they are first cooked, they feel like a yeast donut, but the longer they sit out the more dense they get and they turn into a cake donut.
