How to Store

Storing these Maple-Glazed Gluten-Free Donuts the right way is a must to maintain their freshness and deliciousness! Here’s how to do it:

1. Room Temperature: If you plan to eat the donuts within a day or two, you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container. Be sure they are completely cool before sealing them to prevent condensation, which can make them soggy! Place a piece of parchment paper between the layers of donuts to prevent sticking.
2. Refrigeration: To refrigerate, place them in an airtight container or wrap them individually in parchment paper. These donuts can last for up to 4-5 days in the fridge!
3. Freezing: To freeze, ensure that the donuts are completely cool. Wrap each donut individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent freezer burn. Place them in a single layer inside a resealable freezer bag or an airtight container for up to 2-3 months!
4. Thawing: When you’re ready to enjoy, remove them from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. You can also warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds or in a preheated oven at a low temperature (about 275 F) for a few minutes to refresh their texture and taste.

Remember that the glaze on your donuts may become a bit sticky when stored in the refrigerator or freezer, but it will still taste delicious!
