Craving a warm homemade donut without the hassle of frying? We've got the recipe for you!
These Air Fryer Donuts were delicious and so fun to make! Rhode Island has the absolute BEST homemade local donut shops. From PVD donuts to Knead Donuts there are so many flavor and topping options. We decided to keep our donuts simple and go with a known favorite, vanilla glaze and of course SPRINKLES💖 We are obsessed with all of the local donut shops and wanted to try to make our own donuts, but without frying them. These couldn't have come out better🤩
*We do NOT recommend baking for best results use an Air Fryer.
