Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each.

You can also add cocoa powder or pumpkin spice to the sugar mixture for variety.
If you want, I can also give a recipe for stuffed air fryer donut holes with chocolate, Nutella, or jam inside—they’re amazing for a sweet surprise.
