Using canned biscuits to make donuts is a quick and easy method for a homemade treat. The air fryer adds a healthier twist by reducing the need for deep frying, and using a suitable oil like light olive oil or canola oil enhances the outcome.

|
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough
|
|
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
|
|
- 1-2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
|
|
- Light olive oil or canola oil spray for spraying
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
### Prepare the Donuts
|
|
1. **Open the Can**: Begin by opening the can of biscuit dough.
|
|
2. **Shape the Donuts**: Separate the biscuits and use a small cutter to create a hole in the center, forming donut shapes.
|
|
|
|
### Cook the Donuts
|
|
1. **Preheat the Air Fryer**: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
|
|
2. **Prepare for Cooking**: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with light olive oil or canola oil spray. These oils have a high smoke point, making them ideal for air frying.
|
|
3. **Place the Donuts**: Arrange the biscuits in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
|
|
4. **Cook**: Air fry for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown. Flip them halfway through for even browning.

|
|
2. **Coat the Donuts**: Roll the warm donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.
|
|

## Tips
|
|
- **Avoid Overcrowding**: Cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
|
|
- **Adjust Cooking Time**: Cooking time might slightly vary based on your air fryer model. |
