In a recent post, I introduced you to Babs Costello - AKA @brunchwithbabs. Babs is the best. She is “America’s most lovable Grandma” and shares recipes, home tips and tricks, positive vibes, and motherly advice.

This past weekend, my pal Heather and I made delicious air fryer donuts with a recipe Babs posted on her Instagram!

“It tastes just like the fried dough you get at the county fair... only better!”

In full transparency, that is a canister of chicken seasoning that I used as a prop for this pic. I was out of cinnamon when I took this particular photo. LOL! #BTS! #**🤷‍♀️**

This recipe was super simple to make in the air fryer. It took under 10 minutes and Heather’s cute kids were easily able to help!

The donuts would be a super cute snack to make with your kiddos for Valentine’s Day. Or, they would make a delicious treat for the Super Bowl!

Trust me… you donut want to miss this recipe! 😉🍩 Ingredients and directions below. Enjoy!
