How to Make Air Fryer Biscuits and Gravy

Step 1 – Make the Air Fryer Gravy

Saute the sausage in the air fryer multi cooker (or a pot on the stovetop if not using an air fryer) on a medium setting. Drain the grease before adding the other ingredients.

Add the remaining sausage gravy ingredients to the pot and stir together. Cook for a few minutes to thicken the gravy.

Step 2 – Make the Biscuits

While the sausage is cooking, in a mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients for the biscuits. Once they are combined, add in the wet ingredients.

Step 3 – Put it Together

Once the gravy is cooked and the biscuits are mixed, drop the biscuit mixture by spoonfuls onto the gravy. Bake until golden brown.

Ingredients for Ninja Foodi Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuits

Substitutions

Chicken The recipe calls for chicken breast tenders, because they cook up fast and are lean cuts of meat. But you could use any part of the chicken you prefer.

Vegetables I used the traditional veggie combo of corn, peas, carrots, and potatoes, but you could use just about any vegetable you like. I’ve made this recipe with broccoli, sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabagas and a few others I forget.

This is a great recipe to use up whatever you have leftover in the refrigerator or pantry. Fresh or frozen work, but the cooking time may need to be adjusted.

Arrowroot flour This is used to thicken the broth and is my preferred thickener. Other options include cornstarch, wheat flour, and agar agar.

Canned biscuits I used canned biscuits for convenience, but you could whip up a batch of homemade biscuit dough, too. Other options are crescent rolls, pizza dough, and pie crust.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie in Ninja Foodi

Here’s a quick overview of the recipe for this chicken pot pie (Ninja Foodi directions), but see the recipe card below for proper settings and full instructions.

Step 1 Melt the butter in the cooking pot, then sauté the chicken until done. Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board.

Step 2 Add the vegetables to the cooking pot and saute for a few minutes. While the veggies are warming, shred or chop the chicken into 1/2″ pieces.

Step 3 Add the chicken back to the pot, along with the broth, milk and seasonings. Add the arrowroot flour to the cold water and whisk until the flour is incorporated. Pour into the chicken mixture and stir until it starts to thicken.

Step 4 Place the biscuits on top of the chicken pot pie base. Close the lid and bake for about 10 minutes.

Step 4 To serve, scoop the chicken pot pie and biscuits into individual bowls using a silicone spatula.

Ingredients List for Skinny Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Substitutions

Milk I’ve made this homemade pumpkin foam cold brew recipe a few times and switched up the milk each time. Whatever your favorite milk is, plant-based or dairy, should work fine in this recipe. I’ve even used vanilla-flavored milk and creamer for a little extra creaminess.

Pumpkin pie spice If you don’t have or can’t find pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by mixing equal parts cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger, or a combination to your liking.

Maple syrup I like the flavor of maple and pumpkin together, but other sweeteners will work, too. Cane sugar, low carb sweeteners like monk fruit, and even honey are great in this recipe. Use what you prefer, but be aware you may need to adjust the amount.

Coffee This is a cold brew recipe, but you could use the pumpkin cream cold foam to top hot coffee too. Also, you could try a flavored coffee to boost the pumpkin flavor.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Brioche Bread Pudding

Substitutions

If you don’t have all of the ingredients above to make this pumpkin brioche bread pudding, or if you prefer using other items, here is a list of ideas for alternatives.

Brioche bread Brioche is a soft, sweet bread, even when it’s “stale” or “day-old.” So in this recipe it can become mushy when mixed and cooked with the pumpkin mixture. If you like a firmer bread that holds up to the “batter,” then try a French baguette and leave it to dry out for a few days before using.

See the Handy Tip below for crisping up the bread if you need to use a fresh loaf.

Milk I used whole cow’s milk in my recipe, but there are lots of other options. Any plant-based milk should work in this recipe. And if you have vanilla flavored milk, that will make it even creamier tasting!

Maple syrup I’m moving away from refined sweeteners and using more whole food ingredients. So I’ve chosen to use pure maple syrup as my sweetener in this pumpkin brioche bread pudding. I think it perfectly complements the pumpkin and spices, but you could use organic cane sugar or another sweetener here. You may need to add another 1/4 cup however, since maple sugar is sweeter than sugar.

Vanilla extract I actually used vanilla bean powder in my recipe. Either one works.

Spices If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you could use a mix of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Use roughly equal portions for a total amount of two teaspoons.

Protein powder This isn’t just any old bread pudding recipe, this is a high protein bread pudding recipe! I don’t eat dessert, so I actually created this recipe to be a meal, specifically a brunch recipe. Since it was heavy on the fat and carbs, I added some protein powder to balance things out. Use your favorite, and give a vanilla protein powder a try!

How to Make Pumpkin Brioche Bread Pudding in an Air Fryer

Here are the general directions for making this pumpkin brioche bread pudding in whatever model air fryer you have, as long as it’s a multi cooker type air fryer that has a cooking pot, not just a basket. The recipe card below gives directions for making it specifically in the Ninja Speedi.

Step 1 Add the bread cubes to the air fryer cooking pot. Then mix the remaining ingredients (see specific amounts in the recipe card below), except the pecans, in a large mixing bowl. Pour the pumpkin mixture on the bread cubes and mix to coat all the bread.

Step 2 Bake at 325° for 30 minutes. Cover the bread pudding about midway through the cooking time to prevent the top from burning. Add the pecans to the pot to toast the last few minutes of cooking.

Step 3 Serve warm topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and some toasted pecans.

Print

Ingredients

• 8 cups "stale" brioche bread, cut into 1" cubes
• 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 4 scoops unflavored protein powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Optional: 1/2 cup pecan halves

Instructions

1. Optional: Place the crisping tray in the lower position in the cooking pot of the Ninja Speedi. Pour in the cubed brioche bread and arrange in an even layer. Put the SmartSwitch in the Air Fryer position and cook at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes on the AIR FRY setting.
2. While the bread is crisping, whisk the canned pumpkin, eggs, milk, 1/2 cup maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3. When the bread is done crisping, use silicone-tipped tongs to carefully remove the tray while dumping the bread cubes into the cooking pot.
4. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the bread cubes and stir everything together, making sure all the bread is coated.
5. Change the settings to BAKE/ROAST at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Press START.
6. When there is about 15 minutes left on the timer, open the unit and place a square of parchment paper over the bread pudding and place the crisping tray on top to hold the paper in place. This will prevent to top from getting to dark and drying out.
7. When there is 5 minutes left on the timer, put the pecans on the crisping tray.
8. When the unit shuts off, use the tongs to remove the pecans and crisping tray. Remove the parchment paper also. Crumble or chop the pecans.
9. To serve the pumpkin brioche bread pudding, top each serving with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of toasted pecans.
