Method
- 1
Cut each biscuit into quarters and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
- 2
Lightly spray the air fryer basket and the donut holes with cooking spray.
- 3
Arrange donut holes in a single layer with space between each. Work in batches if needed.
- 4
Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown all over.
- 5
Immediately brush hot donut holes with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- 6
Serve warm for the best texture.
Pro tip. Rolling the dough pieces into tight, smooth balls is important — any cracks or seams will split open during cooking. Brush with butter while still hot so the cinnamon sugar coating sticks evenly.
Why the air fryer wins here
- Ready in 10 minutes. The same dish takes about 17 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
- Uses a fraction of the oil of deep frying, which is how this comes in at 175 calories a serving.
- Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.
Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
