1

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with as needed cooking spray.

Take each 8 biscuits refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count can) and flatten it slightly with your palm. Use a small cup or round cookie cutter to cut a hole in the center to create a donut shape.

Air fry for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

While the waffles are cooking, prepare the chocolate sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Stir in 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
7

When the waffles are done, immediately brush both sides with melted 1/4 cup melted butter, then coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
8

Serve warm with the chocolate dipping sauce on the side.
