If you haven’t tried making donuts in the air fryer yet, you are missing out. You can top them any number of ways, but our current favorite is with a maple glaze.
These are PERFECT for fall and I promise – you won’t be able to eat just one. They. Are. Good.
The combo of the maple sweetness with the fluffy goodness of the donut is divine. Served with milk, it becomes a classic breakfast treat.
The recipe below will bring this tasty treat to your table in less than 15 minutes.

How to make the maple bars:
Start with a can of biscuit dough. We don’t recommend using the ‘flaky layers’ variety, as the top layer tends to pop off when you glaze the donuts.
Open up your biscuits and press them out into more of a rectangle shape.
Place your dough in the air fryer, making sure to leave some space between each one, and spritz them with a vegetable oil spray.
Let them cook for five minutes or until golden brown.
How to make the maple glaze:
Get a small bowl and whisk together the following ingredients:
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
- Maple extract
- Milk
- Salt
If you would like a thinner glaze you can add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, to get your desired thickness.
Dunk the donut tops right in the glaze. Easy peasy!
After you apply the glaze to the donuts you need to let them sit for 5 minutes to allow the glaze to firm up.
Recommendations for your air fryer:
We use and love the OMORC air fryer. It’s dishwasher safe and has a large basket, so we can fit lots of food in at once. It cooks quickly and evenly and we’ve had it for a couple of years now.
Another thing of note is that you want to protect your air fryer. The spray cans of nonstick spray can damage your spray basket. Instead, you should put regular vegetable oil in a pump spray bottle when applying it inside your air fryer.
