I have always loved donuts since I was a child. The soft, fluffy dough, the sweet glaze, and the irresistible aroma is just too hard to resist. But what if you have some leftover donuts that have gone cold? Or what if you don’t have a microwave to warm them up? Don’t worry, because I’m here to share with you some deliciously easy methods on how to warm donuts without a microwave.
Oven to the Rescue
If you have an oven at home, consider yourself lucky because this method is perfect for you. Follow these simple steps and you’ll have warm, delectable donuts in no time:Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
The first thing you need to do is preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). While waiting, take a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. This will prevent your donuts from sticking to the sheet and make the clean-up easier.Step 2: Place Your Donuts on the Baking Sheet
Once your oven is preheated, carefully place your cold donuts on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each donut so they can warm up evenly.Step 3: Warm Them Up
Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the donuts warm up for about 5 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on them because you don’t want them to get too crispy or dried out. The goal is to warm them up, not to bake them again.Step 4: Remove and Enjoy
After the 5 to 7 minutes, take out the baking sheet from the oven. The donuts should be slightly warm and soft again. Allow them to cool down for a minute or two before indulging in their deliciousness. You can also add some fresh glaze or sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to make them extra special.Toaster Oven: A Quick Fix
If you don’t have a regular oven at home or you’re just looking for a faster way to warm up your donuts, a toaster oven is your best friend. Here’s how you can use it to warm your cold treats:Step 1: Preheat Your Toaster Oven
Just like the regular oven method, you need to preheat your toaster oven to 350°F (180°C). While waiting, prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Step 2: Arrange Your Donuts on the Baking Sheet
When your toaster oven is preheated, place your cold donuts on the baking sheet. Again, make sure there’s enough space between each donut for even warming.Step 3: Toast Them
Carefully slide the baking sheet with the donuts into the toaster oven. Set the timer for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how cold your donuts are and how warm you want them to be. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-toasting.Step 4: Enjoy Your Warm Donuts
Once your donuts are warm and toasty, take them out of the toaster oven. Let them cool for a minute or two before taking that first delicious bite. Feel free to add your favorite glaze or toppings to enhance the flavor.The Steaming Method: A Unique Approach
If you’re up for something different and you have a steamer at home, you can also use it to warm up your donuts. Here’s how to do it:Step 1: Boil Water

When the water is boiling, place your cold donuts on the lined steamer. Make sure to leave some space between them to allow the steam to circulate evenly.Step 3: Cover and Steam
Cover the pot with the steamer and let the donuts steam for about 2 to 3 minutes. This method is quite quick, so be mindful not to over-steam them, as they may become too soggy.Step 4: Serve and Savor
