Air Fryer Donuts
We love to cook all kinds of recipes, but baking holds a special place in our hearts. Whether you are making a pie, a cake, or any other kind of dessert, we have recipes that will help you make those special memories in the kitchen! The alleged promise of an Air Fryer is to make traditionally fried foods without oil (or at least with much less oil). So, why not donuts? Donuts are one of my favorite treats, but sometimes I just don’t want to deal with a deep fryer. After a lot of trial and error, I am so excited to share my Air Fryer Donut recipe with you!
Ingredients And Tools for Air Fryer Donuts
Air Fryer
The first tool you need is the Air Fryer. If you don’t already have one, don’t be intimidated by an Air Fryer! Once you get the basics down, it is so simple to use. Here are a few suggestions for this donut recipe and using an Air Fryer in general:
Always preheat your Air Fryer before use. It only takes a minute. Set it to 400 degrees for 1 minute, cook with it empty, and it will be hot and ready to use.Use a little non-stick cooking spray or air fryer parchment sheets (with holes) to prevent food from sticking to trays.Keep food from touching, this will help the air circulate all around each piece of food for even cooking and crispiness.Shake or turn food half way through the cooking process for more even cooking.Don’t be afraid to check your food for doneness, opening the drawer won’t ruin the cooking process.Get an oil sprayer for making dry breaded foods like our Homemade Mozzarella Sticks. A little spritz of oil can make breading more crispy.
Tools for Shaping the Donuts
To make these Air Fryer Donuts, or any homemade donuts recipe, you will need tools to shape the donuts. I would suggest using biscuit cutters. You can find biscuit cutters in all sizes, but I have a set from 4-inch to 1-inch. I use the 4-inch for the main part of the donut, and then the 1-inch for the donut hole. You can also use a regular circular cookie cutter, or any cups or small bowls to get your desired shape.
