I love my air fryer. I use it frequently during the week, mostly for making delicious chips. However, I have recently discovered that there is all manner of surprising things you can make in an air fryer. From Apple chips and fried pickles to chocolate chip cookies and banana bread. Clearly, I should be using my air fryer for desserts and not just for savoury meals!
I had no idea it is possible to make donuts in an air fryer until I discovered this recipe. Making donuts can be a bit of a slog, especially for the first time maker, so this cheat recipe which uses premade American style biscuit dough is such a fantastic shortcut. You need only portion out the premade dough, dip in melted butter, smother in a sugar-spice mix and bake in your air fryer. They only take a couple of minutes to cook – I mean, what could be easier?
These cinnamon pumpkin spice donut holes are perfect with a cup of tea as an afternoon treat on a cold Autumn day. Why not give it a go yourself?
