These chocolate-glazed donuts are air fried and so much healthier than deep fried donuts! Less oil. These air fryer donuts came out perfect! I air fried them for 4 minutes on each side. I was in a festive Holiday mood and added some red, white, and green sprinkles to the donuts. Have you made anything sweet in your air fryer? Get one during Cyber Monday or on Black Friday?

Canned Biscuits Donuts
These donuts are made from Pillsbury Grand Biscuits. They will taste like biscuits and not but I think the donut glaze helps out a lot. I like using canned biscuits because the donut shape is already there. All you have to do is poke a whole in the middle of the donut.

What are the Best Air Fryers?
I’ve had 3 or 4 different air fryers or the past 5 years and each one of them has worked very well with the air fryer recipes on this site. If you want to be able to cook more food for your family at once then get an air fryer with a large basket such as 5.3 quarts. Look for ones that say nonstick on them and has multiple program settings. Power XL Air Fryer 5.3 Quart Basket. - This was my very first air fryer. Our 5.3QT Power Air-Fryer comes in handy in preparing amazing meals from your cookbook, and frying a variety of dishes, such as: French fries, chicken, steak, roasts, fish tacos and sticks, waffle fries, pies, pudding and donuts. Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer - This air fryer works very well too but the air fryer setting doesn’t go below 300 degrees. If there’s a recipe that calls for lower temperatures you have to use the bake setting. It air frys, roasts, grills, and dehydrates food.
