How to Make Air Fryer Oreo Stuffed Beignets

No need to preheat! Lightly spray your air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Using the Ninja Foodi? This is the perfect way to utilize its air fryer function.

Here’s the trick: Wrap the dough around the cookie like a dumpling, then gently roll it between your hands to form a smooth ball. This ensures the dough seals completely, preventing it from splitting open while cooking.

Unroll the crescent dough on a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Gently separate the triangles. Place an Oreo or a Reese’s cup in the center of each triangle

Place the dough balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch.

Air fry at 350°F for 7-8 minutes or until golden brown. Check them at the 7-minute mark, as air fryer times can vary.

Once done, carefully use tongs to remove the beignets. They’ll be hot! Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce while still warm for an extra indulgent touch.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Beignets

• Best Way to Roll: To prevent the dough from tearing, pinch the edges firmly and roll gently between your hands like playdough. This helps seal the Oreo inside completely.
• Stuffing Options: Besides the many Oreo flavors available, try stuffing with chocolate candies, peanut butter cups, or even a chocolate chip cookie.
• Glazes and Toppings: Drizzle with melted chocolate, caramel, or even sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
