Read this guide for a complete overview of Dunkin’ Glazed Munchkin nutrition facts, calories, ingredients, and allergens.

While the minimum order size at our local Dunkin’ Donuts is five Munchkins, the nutrition facts and calories in these sweet treats are based on a single serving size measured as only one bite-sized Munchkin.

Even though we ordered five Munchkins the last time we stopped at Dunkin’, they gave us six: 3 glazed and 3 jelly.

I weighed our small order of Munchkins and the average weight of a single Munchkin is 0.5 ounces (about 14 grams).

Dietary Fat

One small donut hole has 3 grams total fat, including 1.5 grams saturated fat.

The FDA recommends limiting calories from saturated fat to less than 10% of total calories. The 1.5 grams of saturated fat in one Glazed Munchkin delivers 14 calories, which is 8% of the daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

How to Calculate % Daily Value

Here is how to calculate that daily value:

  • 10% of 2,000 calories = 200 calories (limit from saturated fat)
  • 1.5g saturated fat x 9 calories per gram = 14 calories
  • 14 calories is about 7-8% of the 200 calorie limit

While 1.5 grams may not seem like much, it’s important to remember that the amount of each nutrient is based on a single measured serving size. If you eat more than one glazed Munchkin, saturated fat increases proportionately.

Saturated Fat is found in coconut oil, chocolate, butter, processed meats, cheese, baked goods, and other processed foods. The FDA recommends choosing foods lower in saturated fat.

Saturated Fat and Calories

For example, here are the total amount (in grams) and estimated calories from saturated fat based on different quantities of Munchkins consumed:

  • 1 Munchkin: 1.5g saturated fat (15 calories)
  • 3 Munchkins: 4.5g saturated fat (40 calories)
  • 5 Munchkins: 7.5g saturated fat (70 calories)
  • 9 Munchkins: 13.5g saturated fat (120 calories)

Sugars

As mentioned above, carbohydrates make up almost half of the 60 calories per serving. Of the 7 grams of carbs in a single donut hole, there are 3 grams of total sugars, all of which are added sugars.

Added Sugars refer to the sugars (e.g., dextrose, sucrose, syrups, table sugar) that are added during the processing of food. By comparison whole foods, including milk and fruit, contain sugars that are naturally present.

Added Sugars

Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest limiting calories from Added Sugars to 10% or less of total calories. If I follow a 2,000 calorie diet, then I should not eat more than 50 grams added sugars (200 calories).
