Time 25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can pre-made flaky biscuit dough
nonstick cooking spray
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon whole milk
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
sprinkles, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  • Separate the biscuits. Use the bottom of a large piping tip to punch out circles in the center of each biscuit, creating doughnuts and doughnut holes.
  • Grease the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
  • Working in batches of 3-4 at a time, "fry" the doughnuts and doughnut holes for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  • Make the cinnamon sugar: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until combined.
  • Make the chocolate glaze: In another small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
  • Dip the doughnuts and doughnut holes in the glaze, cinnamon sugar, or chocolate glaze. Top with sprinkles, if desired.

Vegan Doughnuts Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: vegan margarine, soy milk, sunflower oil, plain flour, caster sugar, baking powder, salt

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 12 doughnuts

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup vegan margarine
½ cup soy milk
2 tablespoons sunflower oil, plus extra for frying
2 cups plain flour
½ cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
  • Once combined, take off the heat and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, half of the sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms.
  • Using your hands, roll dough into little flat balls and with your thumb, press a hole in the center of each doughnut. (You may need to flour your hands for this part to avoid getting sticky!)
  • Heat up oil in a pan. To know when it's hot enough, fry a little bit of bread in the oil. If it goes brown and floats to the top, in 45-50 seconds the oil will be ready!
  • Gently lay the doughnuts into the oil using a spatula. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  • Transfer the doughnuts onto some tissue paper to soak up any excess oil.
  • Roll the doughnut into a bowl of the remaining half of sugar.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispier doughnut, preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some space between the doughnuts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the doughnuts in batches, if necessary. Don't stack them on top of each other, or they will not cook properly.
  • Keep an eye on the doughnuts while they are cooking. They can burn quickly, so it's important to adjust the cooking time as needed.
  • Once the doughnuts are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before glazing or frosting them.

Conclusion:

Air fryer doughnuts are a quick, easy, and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make doughnuts that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So next time you're craving a doughnut, reach for your air fryer instead of the deep fryer. You won't be disappointed!
