How To Make Dunkin Donuts Sprinkle Donuts Recipe
Step One: Open up the package, then, use a biscuit cutter and cut out the middle. You can either make the holes into one big donut, as well as, use these later to make mini donuts, munchkins.
Step Two: Then, spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray, do not use non-stick spray on your basket. Then, place your biscuit dough (I needed to do it in 2 batches, as you don’t want them crowded)
Step Three: Lastly, set the air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F, and set cook time for 5 minutes. Then, after 5 minutes, remove the biscuits, place on a cutting board, and place the second batch in the air fryer basket.
Step Four: Meanwhile in a small mixing bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix well, until everything is well blended. Then, mix well. Wait a few minutes, until the donuts are cooled, and then spread the vanilla frosting on the donuts.
Dunkin Donuts Sprinkle Donuts Recipe Tips
- Use fresh biscuits – They bake up soft and fluffy, giving the best donut texture.
- Cut the centers carefully – Save the donut holes for mini treats or baking later.
- Glaze while slightly warm – The glaze will stick better and create a smooth coating.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan – Give donuts space to cook evenly in the air fryer or oven.
- Customize your toppings – Add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or drizzle chocolate for extra fun.
- Serve immediately – These donuts taste best fresh but can be lightly reheated if needed.
Storing, Freezing & Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing: Store cooled donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Keep them separated with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Freezing: Wrap each donut individually in plastic wrap or foil and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat briefly in the oven or air fryer.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the donuts and glaze separately a day in advance. Assemble and glaze just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
