Indulge in the sweet delight of a classic maple bar donut, a soft, airy pastry generously coated in a rich, sweet maple glaze. Perfect for breakfast or a delightful afternoon treat, this beloved baked good offers a satisfyingly sweet experience.

Storage Time

Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for slightly extended freshness.

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18-22°C) for optimal texture, or refrigerate at 0-4°C if extending storage.

Freezing

To freeze maple bar donuts and preserve their deliciousness, wrap each donut individually and tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe airtight container or bag. This prevents freezer burn and maintains quality. Thaw by leaving them at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, or gently warm them in a low-temperature oven (around 150°C or 300°F) for a few minutes for a freshly baked feel. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the glaze.

Signs of Spoilage

• Mold growth, appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors (green, white, black).
• A stale, hard, or dry texture, indicating loss of moisture and freshness.
• An off, sour, or yeasty smell, which is a clear indicator of spoilage.
