Ingredients
Coffee Donuts
- 1 cup milk warmed to 100-110 degrees F
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Coffee Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract
Instructions
- Combine the warm milk and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Allow the yeast to sit for five minutes, or until it has become foamy on top.
- Next, add the egg, melted butter, and coffee extract to the bowl and mix until combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour followed by the brown sugar.
- Turn the mixer to medium speed and knead the dough until it easily pulls away from the sides of the bowl. It should be smooth, but pretty sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and place it in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about an hour.
- Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and roll out to 1/2-inch thick. Use round cutters to cut out the doughnuts. (see note)
- Transfer the donuts to the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook at 400F for 7 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown on the outside.
- Whisk the icing together and set aside while the donut cook. Set aside.
- Remove the donuts from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before icing.
- Once cooled, spread the icing over the donuts and top with sprinkles, if desired. Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.

Notes
- If you don't want to buy a donut cutter, you can use a 2.5-inch circle cookie or biscuit cutter to cut out the donuts. Then use the wide end of a piping tip to cut out the holes. (You can also air fry the donuts holes!)
