Who doesn’t love donut holes!?! You can pop them in your mouth as you run out the door or indulge in a few as you relax with a cup of coffee. They also make the perfect kid-size sweet treat for an afterschool snack!
And with this simple recipe if you’ve got a can of biscuits then you’ve basically got donut holes just waiting to be made! All you have to do is form store-bought biscuit dough into balls, air fry, roll those cooked balls in mixture of cinnamon and sugar, and bam! The donut holes are done!

How to Make Air Fryer Donut Holes From Biscuits
You only need 4 easy to find ingredients to make these homemade air fried donut holes! The most important one being a can of biscuit dough. I like to use the Pillsbury brand of biscuits, but any brand will work perfectly with this recipe.
This is what you will need:
- Canned Biscuits
- 2 Tbsp Melted Butter
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
First, remove the 4 biscuits from the can. Then cut each one into 3 pieces and form all those pieces into balls. These are your donut holes!
Now, place all the formed donut holes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. But make sure that they aren’t touching, so they don’t stick together while cooking. Then put the air fryer basket into the air fryer and cook the donut holes for 7 minutes at 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once the donut holes are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and put them on a plate. Then set them aside for now while you do the next step.
Next, pour the sugar and cinnamon onto a plate and mix them together. Then pour the melted butter onto a separate plate. Now, put all the cooked donut holes onto the plate with the melted butter and roll them around until they are fully coated in butter. Then move the butter coated donut holes to the plate with the cinnamon sugar mixture and roll them around again until they are fully covered in yummy goodness.
And that’s it! You’ve just made yourself some homemade air fryer donut holes from biscuit dough!
Can I Use Any Brand of Canned Biscuits?
Yes! I like to use Pillsbury Grands biscuits, but any brand will work perfectly for this air fried donut hole recipe. Yet, if you use smaller biscuits you may need to cut them into 2 pieces instead of 3 and use 6 biscuits in total rather than 4.
