How Long Will Chocolate Donuts Last For?
Sadly, a good donut can last for three hours at room temperature before losing that awesome fresh taste. Yet they will comfortably last for 1 to 2 days in an airtight container before mold growth and drying out. If you put your chocolate donuts into airtight meal prep containers or storage bags in the fridge, they could last 5 to 7 days. Although they tend to get a bit soggy and the glaze may melt off.
Can Chocolate Donuts Be Frozen?
Indeed the product of this meal prep ideas recipe can remain frozen for 3 months. Of course to achieve this result they must be properly stored in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Also, you may have to do a few other things first before we get to that possible 3 months of storage.
Use wax paper to cover a cookie sheet. Then place your glazed donuts in one layer on the sheet with sufficient space so that they don’t touch. Place the cookie sheet into the freezer for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Ensure they are completely frozen before removal from the freezer. Once you remove them from the freezer, use a spatula to remove each donut from the sheet and place into a storage container or freezer-bag one at a time. Do so quickly, you wouldn’t want your chocolate donuts to thaw out right away!

Can you just use a cup of all purpose flour? My stores near me do not sell the other kinds and we are not gluten free
Hi Melissa, We did not test it with another flour, so we can't recommend an even swap. If you give it a try, please let us know.
Can you do a cup of all purpose flour instead?
Hi Mel,
We have not tried this recipe with all purpose flour, so we can't say whether or not it would work. If you try it, please let us know how it turns out!
