How long does a doughnut last?
How long until the doughnuts expire?
Doughnuts are best enjoying fresh, but can last for varying duration depending on storage method.
Freshly made doughnuts are typically good for 1-2 days at room temperature if stored in an airtight container to maintain their softness and flavor.
Refrigeration can extend their shelf life to about a week, but this may cause them to become dry out.
To maximize freshness, place them in an airtight container or wrap them in plastic wrap before refrigerating.
For longer storage, doughnuts can be frozen for 2-3 months.
When freezing, individually wrap each doughnut in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Before serving, thaw them at room temperature or reheat them in the microwave for a few seconds for a fresher taste.
