Notes

Serve these donuts fresh and warm right out of the air fryer. They are perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. Consider adding different toppings like sprinkles, nuts, or glazes. If storing, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature, best enjoyed fresh but can last for up to two days.
