These Uncrustables Donuts are the latest trending easy TikTok recipe made using your favorite flavor of Uncrustables sandwiches that have been deep-fried and tossed in cinnamon sugar for the easiest jelly donut you’ll ever make!

A Quick Tasty Treat

For the last few weeks, people have been raving about how genius these Uncrustables Donuts are that have been going viral on TikTok thanks to this video! However, Well Done seems to be the original source of the recipe. Are they breakfast or dessert or lunch or a snack? Maybe all four mashed up into one!

My husband thinks I’m a little odd, but I only like PB&Js that are toasted – In my opinion, the jelly and peanut butter are already really soft so I don’t want soft bread too. And these donuts are absolute perfection in my book! You can a crispy fried bread on the outside and the peanut butter and jelly get warm and good – it’s so good!

Holy Fudge. These are so freaking good. I blame you for the extra 50 lbs I’m about to pack on now that I know this recipe

Ingredients For Uncrustable Donuts

This recipe requires minimal ingredients: Oil for frying, Uncrustables sandwiches, and cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon sugar is optional, my husband actually prefers them without, but they do give you more of that jelly donut flavor.

How To Make Donuts with Uncrustables

These donuts are really easy to make, you’ll need a few key kitchen tools to make them, but otherwise, no real skills are required!

Thaw and core the Uncrustables using a cupcake corer (I have this one and love it).
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
Fry the sandwiches and place on a paper towel on a plate.
Toss in cinnamon sugar.

Air Fryer Cooking Method

If you prefer, you can cook these uncrustables in the air fryer. They’ll take about 7 to 8 minutes to cook. However, I tested both methods and found that the cinnamon sugar doesn’t stick very well to the air fryer version and would need to be brushed with butter.

They also took longer to cook since in most air fryers you can only cook 3 or 4 at a time. I also thought the air fried uncrustables were drier overall. So if you can fry them, do it, it’s work the extra hassle!

Ingredients

6 people

vegetable oil (for frying)
6 Uncrustables (thawed, any flavor)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Steps

Fill a heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven with 1½ inches of vegetable oil (or other frying oil of choice) and heat over high heat until it reaches 375°F when tested with a kitchen thermometer. Reduce heat to medium low once it reaches temp.
Meanwhile, use a cupcake corer or 1-inch circular cookie cutter to cut a hole in the center of each of the thawed uncrustables.
Use tongs to drop the uncrustables into the hot oil and cook each side for 10 to 12 seconds. Transfer cooked donuts to a paper towel-lined plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and cinnamon until evenly combined then toss the fried donuts in the cinnamon sugar mixture making sure to work them side to side so the middle gets coated. Serve immediately.

Notes

Uncrustables thaw really quickly and should be ready to cut 10 to 15 minutes after removing from the refrigerator.
This recipe is really easy to scale. The recipe can make 6 to 12 before needing to increase the sugar or change out the oil.
The centers of the donuts do not need to be pinched back together, they don't really leak. But some peanut butter or jelly will get in the oil and after about 12 donuts you'll want to change it out.
I would only cook 2 to 3 at a time since they cook really fast and you don't want them to burn while you're adding or flipping the others. Since they cook so fast it will only take you a couple of minutes to cook all of them even in small batches.
