Hey, I recently came across butternut donuts, and I’m super curious about them! I’ve never tried them before, but they sound delicious.

Can anyone share their experiences with butternut donuts? How do they taste, and what’s the texture like? Are they more cake-like or fluffy? Also, where’s the best place to find them or make them at home?

Butternut donuts offer a delightful twist on the classic treat, bringing a unique flavor and a hint of autumnal warmth.

What to Expect:

  • Flavor: Butternut squash imparts a subtle sweetness and earthy undertone to the donut. Enhance the flavor with complementary spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Texture: These donuts typically have a cake-like texture, soft and moist, though some recipes may yield a slightly denser result.

Where to Find Them:

  • Butternut donuts aren’t as common as traditional donuts but can be found at specialty bakeries or farmers’ markets, particularly during the fall season.

Making Butternut Donuts at Home:

  • If you’re up for a culinary adventure, making butternut donuts at home can be a fun and rewarding project. Explore various recipes online, ranging from classic glazed to more elaborate versions.

Many/most of the Connecticut Dunkin’ Donuts I’ve visited provide butternut. If they ever go away, I will never go back since they’re so good. I agree with this! It blows my mind that it is not an obligatory flavor where I live in New York!
