☝️ Fun Fact: Many people prefer this donut for "dunking" into their coffee because it holds its shape better than yeast donuts.
About Old Fashioned Plain Nutrition
The Old Fashioned Plain is the "purist's" donut. It is a simple, spiced cake donut without any glaze or topping.
Because it lacks the sugar-heavy glaze, it is significantly lower in sugar (only 9g) than the glazed version. However, because the base is still a fried cake donut, the fat content remains high at 18g.
Health Tip: This is one of the best choices for those who want a donut but are strictly monitoring their sugar intake. Use our Nutrition Calculator to see how it fits your day!
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is it dry?
It is a dense cake donut, so it is naturally firmer than a yeast donut, but it is designed to be moist.
