We risked a sugar coma by taste testing doughnuts . You’re welcome

We tasted and tested the very best doughnuts out there

-

1 Dum Dum Donutterie Galaxy Dough, £2.75 This lightly baked doughnut contained lovely thick vanilla cream, which wasn’t too sweet. Good coverage of icing all round, and perfect for all unicorn lovers!

2 Borough 22 Turmeric Glaze With Cereal Crumb, £2.50 This vegan doughnut was really dense and not as sweet as we were expecting. Pleasantly, it didn’t taste greasy or fried in any way.

3 Borough 22 Hazelnut Cacao, £2.50 For something that tastes so naughty, this is surprising­ly angelic – vegan dough topped with the closest thing you’ll find to vegan Nutella. Not too sweet, either.

4 Dunkin’ Donuts Bavarian Crème, £1.60 This looks like a kids’ party on acid and it’s as sweet as you can handle. Soft sponge with a crème filling and marshmallo­ws on top, just in case you need even more sugar.

5 Krispy Kreme Strawberri­es & Kreme, £1.90 Delish jam filling, light-as-you-like dough, sweet icing and a crunchy biscuit top. We could eat this one for days.

6 Tesco Strawberry Iced Ring 4 Pack, £1 This has a super-sickly strawberry topping, which tastes a bit on the synthetic side. But it’s the perfect treat for kids and amazing value.

7 Crosstown Peanut Butter Berry, £3.50 Really good chew and substance, thanks to a sourdough base. You can tell the blackcurra­nt jam is made in-house and it works really well with the peanut butter icing. A generous sprinkling of nuts on top gives good crunch. Pretty pricey, but worth the dollar.

8 Crosstown Lemon-thyme, £3.95 This one is definitely for grownups. The combo of lemon and thyme makes it more of a posh dessert than a calorie-bursting snack.

9 Dum Dum Donutterie Zebra Cro, £3.75 More a cronut than a doughnut, this has layers of chocolate croissant dough slathered with a light chocolate buttercrea­m. Dangerousl­y easy to devour more.
