Donuts…ranked! 🍩

Who doesn’t love a donut?

Thrillist grabbed a box of crullers and ranked 24 “classic donuts” from best to worst…ITHO, here we go:

  1. Glazed Round…their so-called “pinnacle of donuts everywhere”
  2. Rainbow Sprinkles
  3. Old Fashioned…”it feels like a handheld, portable pound cake”
  4. Raspberry Jelly…”a sticky and wonderfully messy gift”
  5. Apple Fritter…”the healthiest donut there is”
  6. Donut Holes…because you can eat more, and there are “no rules”
  7. Chocolate Frosted
  8. Crumb Cake…”a crunchy, buttery, topping to an already exquisite creation”
  9. Blueberry Cake…”severely underrated”
  10. Glaze Twist and Sugar Twist
  11. Boston Cream…”even though some purists criticize it for being hole-less”
  12. French Cruller…the “snooty, French cousin of the Glaze Round”
  13. Apple Cider Cake
  14. Powdered Sugar…”despite the white fingerprints that end up everywhere”
  15. Sugar Round
  16. Bear Claw…it misses the mark due to its “flat, limp, yeasted-dough shape”
  17. Maple Glazed
  18. Buttermilk Bar
  19. Strawberry Frosted
  20. Cinnamon Bun…”we’d rather just get a freshly baked cinnamon roll”
  21. Chocolate Cake
  22. Lemon Jelly…”a gloppy cornstarch mixtures with an artificial lemon flavor”
  23. Coconut Cake
  24. Plain Cake…perhaps the actual “healthiest donut”

What’s yours? Let the debate begin!
