Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 1 cup milk lukewarm (100-110°F)
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 envelope)
- 1 egg room temperature, large
- 2 tablespoons butter melted (¼ stick, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
For the Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract
- Sprinkles optional, for garnish
Instructions
For the Donuts
- Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- 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.
- Add the egg, melted butter, and coffee extract. Mix until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, 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, about 6-8 minutes. It should be smooth but pretty sticky.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray.
- 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.
- Cook for 7 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown. Transfer the cooked donuts to a cooling rack.
- Let the donuts cool completely before icing.
For the Icing
- While the donuts cool, make the icing. In a medium bowl, whisk all of the icing ingredients together.
- 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.
Notes
- Storage: Store coffee donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer (without icing) for up to 2 months.
- Store coffee donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer (without icing) for up to 2 months.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add a bit more coffee extract to the donut dough.
- Instead of coffee extract, try vanilla or maple extracts.
- Let the donuts cool completely before icing so it doesn't melt off of the warm donuts,
