  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) while the batter rests.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Portion the batter into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them in the air fryer basket, leaving space in between.
  • Air fry for 6-8 minutes until golden brown; check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Let the donut bites cool on a wire rack.
  • Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create the glaze, adjusting for consistency.
  • Dip the warm donut bites in the glaze or roll them in cinnamon sugar.
  • Allow the glaze to set on a wire rack before serving.
