You guys have been loving all of the air fryer recipes I’ve been sharing lately. One of my most popular recipes is this delicious air fryer steak. So I figured we needed an air fryer dessert recipe to go with it. And these air fried donuts did not disappoint! They were super easy to make and you are going to love them! They’re sweet, crispy, and absolutely delicious. The next time you go to a party, make sure you bring a dozen of these donuts. The secret to these scrumptious bites of heaven is in the glaze and crispy cereal.

Ingredients

  • Canned Biscuits – I used Pillsbury Hawaiian grands
  • Whole Milk
  • Fruity Pebbles – you can use cocoa pebbles instead.
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Butter
  • Orange Juice

Do I Need an Air Fryer?

No, you can certainly bake these instead. Follow the baking instructions on the back of the canned biscuits and then glaze the donuts and decorate with fruity pebbles.

Recipe Variations

Feel free to use your favorite cereal. You can even use sprinkles too!

Equipment

  • air fryer

Ingredients 

  • 1 can Pillsbury biscuits, Hawaiian bread grands
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup fruity pebbles
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions 

  • Remove biscuit dough from the can and separate the biscuits on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the biscuits to ½” thickness. Use a ½” biscuit/cookie cutter and remove the center of the biscuits.
  • In a small bowl, melt the butter. Dip biscuits into the butter and allow excess to drip off. Add granulated sugar to a second bowl and lightly toss biscuits to coat in the sugar mix. 
  • Preheat the air fryer at 360 degrees for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick spray and place donuts into the basket. Keep ½” space between the donuts. Cook for 5 minutes, turn and cook for an additional 3 minutes. 
  • While the donuts are cooking, prepare the frosting. In a small mixing bowl, whisk whole milk, orange juice, and confectioners sugar. 
  • Remove donuts from the air fryer. Dip the top into the frosting, one at a time. Sprinkle with fruity pebbles. Repeat with all donuts and enjoy!

Notes

If a biscuit/cookie cutter is not available, a plastic bottle cap or medicine cup can do the job in a bind.
