Air Fryer Doughnuts

One thing I really miss is our weekly trip to a local bakery on Sunday mornings before going to church. They have some amazing doughnuts that just hit the spot perfectly which pairs so nicely with a cup of coffee. It’s been awhile since I’ve made homemade doughnuts… and to be honest, I don’t want to go through the time and trouble of preparing a yeast dough. So what can I do to satisfy my doughnut craving? Biscuits.

Yep, a simple old can of biscuits is the answer here. It may not compare at all with the fluffy doughnuts offered at our local bakery but given the circumstances, it will do. Did I mention this is a 2 INGREDIENT recipe where you’ll have a hot doughnut in 4-5 minutes?! Part of the fun with this is deciding whether to toss the doughnuts in cinnamon sugar or dip the doughnuts in a simple sugar glaze. Either way, doughnut cravings will be satisfied!
