  • Use a donut pan or mold to create the donut shapes with the batter. If you do not have a donut pan, you can also pipe the batter into donut shapes on parchment paper.

  • Place the shaped donuts into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  1. Cool the Donuts:
