I’ve got something special for your morning treat—Coffee-Glazed Donuts.

They’re soft, fluffy, and covered in a sweet coffee glaze that pairs perfectly with your morning brew. Ready to get started? Let’s make these delicious donuts together.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Donuts:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Coffee Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

How To Make

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s always easier to bake when everything is ready to go.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will be the base for your donuts.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Once combined, pour this mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Fill the Donut Pan
Grease your donut pan with some butter or non-stick spray. Spoon the batter into the pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. This helps the donuts rise nicely.

Step 5: Bake the Donuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Make the Coffee Glaze
While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar, cooled coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable.

Step 7: Glaze the Donuts
Once the donuts are cool, dip the top of each one into the coffee glaze. Let the excess glaze drip off before placing them back on the wire rack. If you like, you can double-dip for an extra sweet treat!

Step 8: Enjoy!
Your Coffee-Glazed Donuts are ready! Grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy your freshly baked treat. These donuts are best enjoyed the same day, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a day or two.

And there you have it—soft, fluffy donuts with a sweet coffee glaze. Perfect for pairing with your morning brew. Enjoy!
