How do I reheat baked donuts?
When it comes to reheating baked donuts, there are a few methods to choose from to ensure they turn out just as delicious as when they were first made.
One option is to use the microwave, but be careful not to overheat them, or they could become tough. Place the donut on a microwave-safe plate, cover it lightly with a damp paper towel, and heat it for 10-15 seconds until it’s warm.
Another option is to use the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, place the donuts on a baking sheet, and bake for 5-10 minutes until heated.
Lastly, you can use an air fryer to reheat your donuts. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, place the donuts in the basket, and heat for 3-4 minutes until they’re warm and crispy.
Overall, keeping a close eye on your donuts while reheating them is important to ensure they don’t become dry or overcooked.
