These crispy air fryer cinnamon sugar donut holes are a quick and easy treat made from biscuit dough, coated in cinnamon sugar, and cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer. They offer a crunchy exterior with a soft, pillowy inside, perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz / 454 g) refrigerated biscuit dough (Pillsbury flaky layers preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar, for coating
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, mixed with sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for a seasonal twist

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C), about 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon. Stir well.
  3. Open the can of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into 4-6 small pieces, roughly 1-inch balls.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter.
  5. Dip each dough ball into the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated. Set aside on a plate.
  6. Place the coated dough balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between them.
  7. Air fry for 7-9 minutes at 350°F (175°C), shaking the basket or turning the donut holes halfway through to ensure even browning.
  8. Repeat coating and cooking remaining dough balls in batches.
  9. Serve warm immediately. Optionally, toss again in cinnamon sugar while still warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping. Use melted butter to help cinnamon sugar stick. Adjust cinnamon sugar ratio to taste. Fresh biscuit dough works best. If donut holes are not browning enough, increase temperature by 10°F. Reheat leftovers in air fryer to maintain crispness.
