This recipe has been floating around Pinterest for a while, and with our kids asking for doughnuts for breakfast, we decided that we would give canned biscuit donuts a try!

Total time for us to get 16 doughnuts was around 15 minutes, which was less time than we would have waited in line at the doughnut shop. These canned biscuit donuts ended up being very popular with all of us (and they were perfect with a cup of coffee!)

Biscuit Doughnuts - A Homemade Breakfast
Easy doughnuts for breakfast or anytime, you just need a can of biscuits! Using this canned biscuit hacks as an easy breakfast is the way to go!
Ingredients
- 2 cans homemade biscuits (not the flaky layer ones)
- Vegetable Oil
- 1 1/2 sticks melted butter
- Cinnamon and Sugar Mix - about 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 2 Tbsp of cinnamon
Instructions
We used our Dutch oven, but a deep skillet would work as well.
Fill pan up about 1/2 inch or so with oil. Heat up for a few minutes to 375°.
While oil is heating, take biscuits out of cans and cut holes in the biscuit with a small cookie cutter or apple corer.
Place doughnuts in oil. (we recommend only 1-2 at a time). The first one might take a few seconds longer, but the majority of them will only take about 25-30 seconds per side.
When they are golden brown, flip them and cook on the other side. Place cooked doughnuts onto a cooling rack over a cookie sheet lined with a paper towel for them to drain. When they have cooled slightly, dip both sides in butter, then cinnamon sugar mixture.
Place back on cooling rack for them to cool off.
Enjoy!
Notes
Don't use the flaky biscuits, they will just separate in the oil.

This are a hit at my house too. I call them fauxnuts :) I think the biscuit doughnuts are best with cinnamon and sugar.

Fauxnuts is a perfect name for these. The ones you had on instagram the other day looked pretty amazing!
