Easy Air Fryer Donuts
My air fryer donuts are made with Grands biscuits making them super easy, yet sweet and full of flavor thanks to the easy glaze too!

Ingredients
- 1 package Pillsbury Grand Rolls flaky or homestyle
For the Glaze
- 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.
- Using a small circular cookie cutter about 1-2 inches in diameter, cut a hole into the middle of the doughnut.
- Place the doughnuts and donut holes into the air fryer in one single layer and cook them for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, put the easy glaze together by whisking the confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk together. Add the extra tablespoon of milk if needed for better consistency.
- Carefully remove the donuts from the air fryer and immediately dip them into the glaze.
- Place on a wire rack to cool for at least 2 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
- Cut the donut holes with a small 1-inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter. 2-inches will also work, but a 3-inch cutter is too big.
- Always leave space between the donuts in the air fryer basket so the hot air can circulate evenly for that perfect golden finish.
- When whisking the glaze, if it isn’t quite the right consistency, add an extra tablespoon of milk.
- If in a hurry, microwave the glaze for a few seconds to help the sugar dissolve faster.
- Dip each donut in the glaze immediately after air frying so the glaze sticks to the warm donuts.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
