Preparation

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Separate the biscuits. Use the bottom of a large piping tip to punch out circles in the center of each biscuit, creating doughnuts and doughnut holes.
  3. Grease the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
  4. Working in batches of 3–4 at a time, “fry” the doughnuts and doughnut holes for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  5. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  6. Make the cinnamon sugar: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until combined.
  7. Make the chocolate glaze: In another small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
  8. Dip the doughnuts and doughnut holes in the glaze, cinnamon sugar, or chocolate glaze. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
