Who does not love doughnuts? Those deep-fried delicacies with an assortment of toppings in flavours like chocolate, maple, coconut and others make it an irresistible treat for all.

Shipleydonuts.com says ‘although the origin of doughnuts is debatable, these sweet treats are sweet, delicious and can be eaten on the go. Since their invention, doughnuts have become increasingly popular’.

There are some huge doughnut chains such as Krispy Kreme and Mad Over Donuts that produce millions of these tasty delights every day, with smaller, speciality shops making gourmet doughnuts also.

You can also make doughnuts at home to give them your personal touch. While the original glazed doughnut – a moist and fluffy doughnut with a simple and sweet taste, remains an eternal favourite with kids, let us look at some other tasty and unique flavours.

The Chocolate glaze doughnut with its chocolate covering and rich tender icing is every chocolate lover’s delight. Then there is the Cinnamon doughnut that captures all the warmth and zing of the lightly caramelised cinnamon toast on a fluffy doughnut. Some stores also offer the option of flavouring glaze with chocolate or maple spread, and a variety of other options for toppings.

Peanut butter doughnuts are all-time favourites. According to an article titled peanut butter cream filled donuts by Jessica published in howsweeteats.com in 2012, ‘peanut butter doughnuts are a bit high in maintenance and if you plan to have them for breakfast then it will be best to prepare them the night before. With ingredients such as vanilla extract, chocolate and creamy peanut butter, this is one doughnut that is sure to make everyone happy’.
