Coffee Donuts Recipe

For the Donuts

1. Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, whisk the warm milk and yeast together. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to foam.
3. Add the egg, melted butter, and coffee extract. Mix until combined.
4. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour followed by the brown sugar.
5. Turn the mixer to medium speed and knead the dough until it easily pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 6-8 minutes. It should be smooth but pretty sticky.
6. Transfer the dough to the prepared bowl, flip the dough to coat all sides, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and place it in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
7. Once the dough has risen, preheat the air fryer to 400°F and transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough to ½-inch thick. Use round donut cutters to cut out the dough.
8. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
9. Place the shaped donuts in a single layer, with space between each, in the air fryer basket. If there isn’t room for all of the donuts, cook them in batches.
10. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown. Transfer the cooked donuts to a cooling rack.
11. Let the donuts cool completely before icing.

For the Icing

1. While the donuts cool, make the icing. In a medium bowl, whisk all of the icing ingredients together.
2. Once the donuts are cool, dunk the tops of the donuts into the icing or use a knife to spread the icing on top. Add sprinkles and serve.
