Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donuts

Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donuts are amazing. They are my favorite donuts that I have made thus far in the air fryer. If you want to branch out to other types of donuts, after making the famous Air Fryer Biscuit Donuts, they these.

Most of my readers know I am from Boston, where there is a Dunkin Donuts on every corner. When I moved to Philadelphia, I really missed my daily drive-by, and of course, besides the coffee, I really missed getting a Dunkin Donut Glazed Chocolate Donut.

Donuts in the Air Fryer are amazing, today I used yeast, and if you have some time to spare, they are a great afternoon or evening treat. Most of the time is waiting for the dough to rise, so once your make the dough, you can forget about it for a while. I usually start the donuts before dinner and then finish up after dinner for a quick dessert since they air fry so quickly.

Some of my other air fryer donut recipes include Air Fryer Glazed Donuts, Air Fryer Fruity Pebbles Donuts, and one of my favorite creations, Air Fryer Strawberry Jelly Donut.

Air Fryer Donuts

If you have ever whipped a batch of fresh homemade donuts, you will already know that they are warm and tender on the inside. They are amazing, with a homemade chocolate glazed pour on top of them.

These taste almost like the Copycat Version of Dunkin Donuts, without even leaving your kitchen, and most of the ingredients, if not all of the ingredients, are probably in your pantry or refrigerator.

How to make Donuts in the Air Fryer

Air Fryer Copycat Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donuts

Start by making the dough. In a large mixing bowl, add the milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Wait for about 10 minutes for it to start to foam. Add sugar, egg, melted butter, and egg. Stir until completely combined. Using a dough hook, add the flour slowly, allowing it to mix at low speed until the dough starts to come together.

Once mixed, increase speed to medium and knead it until dough forms into a ball. Place the dough in a large oiled bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let the dough double in size for about an hour.

Once the dough has been raised, remove and roll the dough out on a floured surface until it is 1/2 thick. Using a circle cutter or a wide mouth mason jar, cut 10-12 donuts out. Using a smaller hole cutter, punch out a hole in each donut.

Place donuts on a rack and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the donuts to rise for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Some Common Questions Asked About Making Air Fryer Donuts

How To Shape Air Fryer Donuts

There are two ways to shape donuts. The first thing is to use anything that you have on hand, glass, or a biscuit cutter. Anything circular works.

The most important is to make each donut the same size, so they all air fry up simultaneously. I usually make one batch for regular-sized donuts and one batch for donut holes, which you make from the excess dough.

How to make Donut Glaze

Since you want an easy frosting or glaze for your donuts, today, I chose chocolate glaze.

Since I was making a copycat version of Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Glaze Donuts, I used a simple mixture of butter, milk, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, bittersweet chocolate powdered sugar.

I used the recipe on Alton’s Brown site, for his famous glaze. If you have not used it, it’s amazing.
