Maple Bar Donuts Recipe

Introduction

These Maple Bar Donuts are a quick and delicious treat made using refrigerated biscuits and an easy maple glaze. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or a sweet snack, they come together in just minutes using an air fryer.

Ingredients

• 1 package Grand’s refrigerated biscuits
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk (plus more as needed)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Step 2: Open the package of biscuits and press each biscuit out into a rectangular shape.
3. Step 3: Arrange the biscuits in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Lightly spritz the tops with oil spray.
4. Step 4: Air fry the biscuits for about 5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
5. Step 5: While the donuts cook, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, maple syrup, maple extract, and salt to make the glaze. Add extra milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is thick but pourable.
6. Step 6: Remove the donuts from the air fryer and, once they are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the maple glaze. Let the glaze set for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, lightly toast the shaped biscuits in the air fryer before glazing.
• Try adding a sprinkle of chopped nuts on the glaze while it’s still wet for extra texture.
• If you don’t have maple extract, vanilla extract works well as a substitute.
• Use a light cooking oil spray to keep donuts crispy without adding greasiness.

Storage

Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For best results, eat them the same day. To refresh, warm briefly in the air fryer or microwave, but glaze texture may soften.

FAQs

Can I bake these donuts instead of air frying?

Yes, you can bake the shaped biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook.

What if I don’t have refrigerated biscuits?

You can try using homemade biscuit dough or another pre-made dough, but cooking times may vary. Make sure the dough is sturdy enough to hold shape when pressed into rectangles.
