These Air Fryer Jelly Donuts are a quick and easy homemade treat featuring flaky biscuit dough air fried to golden perfection, coated in melted butter and sugar, and filled with your favorite raspberry jelly. Perfect for a warm, indulgent snack or breakfast that mimics classic donuts without the deep frying.

Ingredients

Donuts

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky layers or buttermilk biscuits preferred)
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup raspberry jelly (use jelly without fruit chunks for easier piping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spritz the basket with oil spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange the Biscuits: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and place the biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure there is space between each biscuit to allow air to circulate. Cook in batches if necessary.
  3. Spray and Air Fry: Lightly spray the tops of the biscuits with oil spray. Air fry the biscuits for 5 to 6 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color.
  4. Prepare the Jelly Filling: While the donuts cook, transfer the raspberry jelly into a piping bag fitted with a long tip, such as a Bismarck tip, to facilitate easy filling.
  5. Butter and Sugar Coating: Remove the cooked biscuits from the air fryer and quickly dunk each one into the melted butter. Then toss them in granulated sugar to coat evenly. For a lighter option, use a pastry brush to apply the butter and sprinkle sugar instead of dunking.
  6. Fill the Donuts: Insert the tip of the piping bag into the center of each donut and gently squeeze to fill with raspberry jelly.
  7. Serve Warm: Serve the jelly donuts warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Biscuit Dough: Use flaky layers biscuits for better texture, but buttermilk biscuits are easier to fill as they hold together better.
  • Jelly Choice: Choose jelly made from fruit juices rather than jam with fruit chunks for smoother piping and filling.
  • Topping Options: Dunking in butter and sugar creates a thicker coating with more fat and calories, while brushing with butter and sprinkling sugar is a lighter alternative.
