Air Fryer Maple Donut Holes

Air Fryer Maple Donut Holes are the ultimate breakfast treat! Made in under 15 minutes with canned biscuits and a delicious maple- cinnamon glaze. Just as delicious as the deep fried version without the extra oil!

I grew up on fried biscuit donuts and my kids love them just as much. Making them in the air fryer is even better without the mess of the deep fryer oil. This recipe is super quick and easy enough for any morning of the week. My kids went crazy for these Air Fryer Churro Apple Pie Bombs that are also a quick and easy treat.

Review:

Air fryers are a great addition to any kitchen. They are simple to use and save so much time, easy cleanup and it can make food healthier than traditional deep frying without sacrificing flavor or texture. 

The Cosori Air Fryer is simple enough for my teenager to use and the clean up couldn’t be easier (my favorite!).

No leftover odors in the kitchen like you get from deep frying. That is a big plus!

It doesn’t take up too much space on the counter but is light enough to move in and out of the cabinet if you choose to store it. 

We use our Air Fryer for making everything from snacks to main dishes. These Air Fryer Sausage Biscuits are great to have on hand and we make Air Fried Roasted Potatoes often and it makes the best homemade fries.

The kids love it for cooking frozen pizza rolls, mozzarella sticks and breaded chicken. 

Downsides? I really can’t think of any. This is a great kitchen appliance that is easy to use no matter the skill level. 

If you are wondering if you really NEED one more kitchen appliance, I would say yes. Once you try the air fryer, you are going to love it! It’s so handy for busy families and hungry and impatient kids! My boys are always hungry and if I can make them a snack or meal in less time, everyone is happy. 

Where to Buy?

The Cosori Premium 5.8 Quart Air Fryer is available from Amazon.

The Accessories Kit includes cake pan, pizza pan, baking racks, skewers, silicone mat, silicone egg bites mold. 

Oil Sprayer to give your foods that crispy fried finish.
