Texas’ Take: Where Does the Lone Star State Sit in America’s Donut-Map?

Texans take pride in a lot of things, including brisket, football, and apparently, donuts. With National Donut Day landing on November 5, it feels only right to ask the big question: what’s Texas’s favorite donut?

A new study from Yay Coloring Pages ranks the most-searched donuts across America, and our Lone Star pick might just sugar-coat your morning.

The Chocolate-Covered Confession

Before we get to the results, full disclosure: I’ve got a thing for chocolate-covered Krispy Kreme donuts. I’m not even ashamed to admit I’ve driven an hour or two to snag a fresh box under that glowing “Hot Now” sign. That first warm bite? Instant happiness. It’s the kind of sweetness that makes you forget traffic, bills, and the fact that your car still smells like yesterday’s tacos.

The Donut That Defines Texas

But when it comes to the state as a whole, Texans leaned another direction. According to the study, our top pick is the powdered sugar donut. You know, messy classic that leaves you looking like you lost a bar fight with a funnel cake. Seven Southern states shared the same favorite, proving the South still reigns supreme in comfort-food territory.

It’s simple, it’s nostalgic, and its probably sitting in a paper bag on the passenger seat of a pickup somewhere right now. Yep, busted!

Donuts and Daybreaks

Here in Abilene, we have some great donut shops. From Jack & Jill Donuts to AM Donuts and Abilene’s own Larry’s Better Donuts, Texans know where to find the good stuff. Whether you’re fueling up for work or a fishing trip, that first bite of powdered sweetness hits different.

Final Bite

So this National Donut Day, celebrate Texas-style: grab a box, make a mess, and don’t even pretend you’re just eating one. Whether you’re chasing a Krispy Kreme run or dusting off a local favorite, donuts are proof that happiness comes fried and covered in sugar.
