Home › Donuts, Munchkins & Bakery › Dunkin' Glazed Donut With Price, Calories & Ingredients (2026)

The Dunkin’ glazed donut is the chain’s number-one most popular donut: a light, yeast-raised ring dipped in a thin, sweet glaze that sets to a delicate shine. A single glazed donut runs about $1.49–$1.89, carries roughly 240 calories, and is built on simple bakery ingredients like enriched wheat flour, sugar and a little oil. Below you’ll find the current glazed donut price by the single, half-dozen and dozen, its full calories and nutrition, exactly what’s in it, how it tastes and what to pair it with, and how it stacks up against other Dunkin’ donuts. Prices are US national averages and vary by location because Dunkin’ is franchised.

Dunkin’ Glazed Donut Price (Single, Half-Dozen & Dozen)

A glazed donut is one of the cheapest things on the Dunkin’ menu, and it gets cheaper per donut as you buy in bulk. A single is about $1.49–$1.89, a half-dozen $7.99–$8.99, and a dozen $14.99–$16.49. Here’s how the price breaks down, including the effective cost per donut.

Buying a dozen brings the price down to roughly $1.25–$1.37 per donut, which is why boxes are the value play for a group or office. Because Dunkin’ is almost entirely franchised, owners set their own prices around a national guide, so city-center, airport and highway stores sit at the top of these ranges while suburban locations sit lower. Treat the numbers as realistic averages and note that prices vary by location. Filled and specialty donuts can nudge a mixed dozen higher than an all-glazed one.

Glazed Donut Calories & Nutrition

A Dunkin’ glazed donut has about 240 calories, which makes it one of the lighter donuts in the case, not one of the heaviest. Because it’s yeast-raised and airy rather than dense and filled, it carries fewer calories than a cream-filled or fried specialty donut. Here’s how it compares with three other popular picks.

Sugar and fat in a glazed donut

Of those 240 calories, roughly 13 g is sugar and 12 g is fat, with about 26 g of total carbohydrates. The sugar comes from both the sweetened dough and the glaze, which is essentially a thin sugar coating that dries to a shine. That’s a moderate amount for a single treat, comparable to a small cookie, but it adds up fast by the box: a half-dozen glazed donuts is around 1,440 calories. If you’re tracking a full order, the Dunkin’ calorie calculator lets you total donuts alongside your coffee.

What’s in a Dunkin’ Glazed Donut

A glazed donut is one of the simplest recipes in the bakery case: a sweetened yeast dough that’s proofed, fried and then dipped in glaze while still warm. There’s no filling, frosting or topping to complicate it, which is part of why it’s so consistent from store to store.

Ingredients

At a high level, a Dunkin’ glazed donut is made from these core components:

• Enriched wheat flour: the yeast-raised dough base that gives the donut its light, bready structure.
• Sugar: in the dough and again in the glaze, for that clean, familiar sweetness.
• Soybean and palm oil: the frying and shortening fats that keep the crumb tender.
• Leavening (yeast): what makes it rise into an airy ring rather than a dense cake donut.
• Glaze: a thin sugar coating applied while the donut is warm so it sets to a glossy shell.

Allergens

Dunkin’s official allergen guide lists wheat, soy, milk and eggs for the glazed donut, as it does for all of its donuts. Every Dunkin’ donut is made in shared kitchens that also handle tree nuts, peanuts and other allergens, so cross-contact is always possible. If you have a severe allergy, check the in-store allergen guide or ask staff before ordering, and treat these figures as the standard recipe rather than a medical reference. Recipes can also vary slightly by supplier and region.

What a Glazed Donut Tastes Like & Best Pairings

A fresh glazed donut is soft, pillowy and barely chewy, with a paper-thin crackle of glaze on the outside that gives way to a warm, airy inside. The flavor is straightforward sweet vanilla-tinged dough, not too rich, which is exactly why it’s the everyday favorite: it goes with anything and never overwhelms. It’s at its best within a few hours of frying, when the glaze is still glossy and the crumb is tender.

Best coffee pairings

Because the glazed donut is sweet but simple, it pairs best with coffee that has some backbone. A hot black Dunkin’ coffee or a medium iced coffee cuts the sweetness cleanly, while a latte or a mocha leans into it for a dessert-style treat. The classic move is a warm glazed donut with an unsweetened iced coffee: the bitter, cold coffee balances the sugar and keeps the whole thing from feeling heavy. For a bite-size version of the same flavor, the glazed Munchkins are the same dough in donut-hole form.

Glazed Donut vs Other Dunkin’ Donuts

The glazed donut is the baseline every other Dunkin’ donut builds on. Here’s how it compares with three of the most popular alternatives on style, calories and taste.

Choose the glazed donut when you want the lightest, simplest, most crowd-pleasing option. Step up to the chocolate frosted donut for more sweetness and cocoa, the Boston Kreme for a rich, custard-filled dessert, or an apple fritter when you want something dense and filling. See the full lineup on the Dunkin’ donut menu.

How to Order a Dunkin’ Glazed Donut

You can order a glazed donut at the counter, at the drive-thru, or ahead for pickup on the Dunkin’ app. For one donut, just ask for a glazed donut by name and it’s usually the fastest single item in the case. For a group, order by the half-dozen or dozen, which drops the per-donut price and lets you mix flavors: an all-glazed box, or glazed plus chocolate frosted and Boston Kreme, is the standard crowd order.

Ordering in the app is usually the smartest move: Dunkin’ Rewards members earn points on every donut, unlock app-only offers, and can add a box to a coffee run in one tap. Donuts are freshest in the morning when stores bake, so an early pickup or a same-day mobile order gets you the glossiest glaze. Prices, again, vary by location, so your receipt will land inside the ranges above.
