How To Reheat & Store Pumpkin Donuts

Best Way To Store Pumpkin Spice Donuts

These donuts can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Place the donuts in an airtight container. You can also keep these donuts in the refrigerator to make them last longer.

How Long Will They Last In the Fridge?

If you want to keep the donuts in the refrigerator, they will last for about 5 days. If you keep the donuts at room temperature, they will last for about 3 days.

Can I Freeze Homemade Donuts

Yes, you can freeze homemade donuts. It is best if you freeze them before you add the glaze. However, you can still freeze them even if they are glazed. I like to freeze the donuts on an plate, whether they are glazed or not. Once they are frozen, I move the donuts to the airtight container or freezer bag. This keeps the donuts from sticking together and this prevent the glaze from coming off the pumpkin donuts.

How To Reheat the Donuts

If you like your donuts warm, or you just want to take the coldness off, you can reheat them in the microwave. You only want to reheat them for a few seconds, especially if the donuts are glazed.

Pumpkin Spice Donuts FAQs

Can I Use Pumpkin Pie Filling

No. Pumpkin pie filling is different than pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling as extra ingredients in it. You want to make sure that you are using pumpkin puree.

What should I do? My donuts stick to my pan.

It is important that you have prepared the pan and greased it well. If the donuts are still stuck, let them sit for a few minutes and then take a knife and run it around the edges of the donut.

Can I Make This Recipe Without a Donut Pan?

If you want to make these pumpkin donuts in a classic donut shape, then you have to have a donut pan. If you don’t care about the shape, you can use a muffin pan and make something similar to donut holes.

Can I Use Gluten Free Flour

Yes, you can use your favorite one to one gluten free flour.
