"there is something very challenging about trying to get through them before they inevitably stale. If you don't have enough of an appetite or a sweet tooth to cram several donuts in a single sitting, you can rest assured that there are numerous ways to use up leftover donuts, including turning them into croutons. Croutons are typically used for savory recipes, sure, and can be made from everything from leftover bagels to forgotten-about baguettes."
"Toss the pieces in a bowl with a bit of melted butter and seasoning (if you'd like) before baking and drying them out even more. The best kind of donuts to use for this recipe are ones with simple flavors and toppings - like glazed or old fashioned - because frosting or filled donuts may not reheat the same way (and their flavors may conflict with whatever you use them on)."
Day-old donuts lose their preferred texture, but leftover donuts can be transformed into donut croutons to prevent waste. Cut donuts and allow the pieces to harden, then toss with a little melted butter and optional seasoning before baking to dry until crisp. Simple glazed or old-fashioned donuts perform best; frosted or filled donuts may reheat poorly or create flavor conflicts. Donut croutons add crunchy sweetness as a topping for ice cream, puddings, and custards and can also provide an unexpected sweet-crunch element in savory preparations such as salads.
