Easy Air Fryer Glazed Donuts
This is such a fun activity to do with your kids! This recipe was inspired by several that I found online, but especially by Jill at This Old Gal. My cooking times differed from hers, so I decided to offer my own instructions.

Instructions
  1. Open biscuits and lay out on clean service.
  2. Use a biscuit cutter or any small round cup to cut out the middle of the biscuit. I used a plastic medicine cup. I pressed it in and twisted it back and forth until it cut through. You will likely need to help your kids with this.
  3. Lightly grease your fryer basket. I used a little bit of coconut oil on a paper towel and let my son rub it all over the basket. This helps prevent sticking.
  4. Set the donut holes aside. Place half of the biscuits into the fryer basket. Set air fryer to 350 for five minutes. (I use a Power Airfryer XL. Your fryer may take more or less time.)
  5. While donuts are baking, combine powdered sugar with two teaspoons of milk and the vanilla.
  6. When timer goes off, immediately remove donuts and put on a plate to cool. Add the second batch of biscuits to the fryer, and follow the same directions as above.
  7. While your second batch is cooking, drizzle glaze onto the donut. If you are using the cinnamon sugar, you dip your donut into it to coat. If you want to skip the glaze and only use cinnamon sugar, just lightly brush a little coconut oil onto the donut and then dip into the sugar mix.
  8. When the donuts are finished, fry your donut holes using a setting of 350 for 3 minutes.
  9. When donut holes are finished, glaze them and then drop them into a baggie of the cinnamon sugar mix and let your kids shake them until they are completely covered.
  10. ENJOY!
