Air fryer Donuts

Donuts are one of our favourite desserts--but making them at home can be quite the process (hello, hot oil!). With an air fryer, you can bypass the hot oil and make a healthier version. If you've ever had a baked doughnut, be prepared. These are SO much better.

 Instead of tasting like a cake, shaped like a doughnut, each of these tastes like a freshly fried classic glazed doughnut--but without the extra oil. Be sure to grease your air fryer basket to help your dough not stick to the bottom.
