Best supermarket doughnuts?

56 replies

I like ring doughnuts and jammy ones too, but I really don't like the ones that use icing sugar on the outside. It has to be proper sugar with a little bit of a crunch that makes you like your lips.
I recently tried warming doughnuts in my air fryer and then adding a little cinnamon sugar, it's going to be my downfall Grin
Anyway... which supermarket makes the best doughnuts?

Lidl, the individual filled chocolate hazelnut ones from the bakery bit.

You need a Greggs yum yum

M&S jam donuts are by far the best supermarket donut. And I'm a bit of a donut fanatic and have tried them all! 🙈

These are fabulous!

Sainsburys are the best though, closely followed by M&S.

M&S and Sainsbury’s have elite jam donuts

ItWasntMyFault · 08/01/2024 23:13

Sainsburys jam doughnuts!

WelshSpringerSpaniel · 08/01/2024 23:17

The Asda iced rings are nice if they’re fresh otherwise Sainsbury’s custard-filled.

GenerousGardener · 08/01/2024 23:27

Sainsburys are the best.

declutteringmymind · 08/01/2024 23:29

M&S and their yum yum

kiwiaddict · 08/01/2024 23:31

Another vote for Sainsburys

Jumpingpogosticks · 08/01/2024 23:32

Sainsburys,
M&S is second contender, they're always slightly darker, I like a bit of a resistance to the bite of a doughnut..not too soft ta!

As an aside, if you ever find yourself in Hertfordshire- there's a bakery chain called Simmons. BEST sugared jam doughnuts. Oh I love em!

ThePoshUns · 08/01/2024 23:38

Morrisons jam doughnuts are the best

Gobolina · 08/01/2024 23:41

Lidl

Loveablockheel · 08/01/2024 23:46

The worst are Tesco, shockingly bad. Years ago they were great, big with a crunchy sugar coating and they also used to do apple doughnuts and chocolate doughnuts which were lovely, now their offerings are a splodge of under cooked dough in icing sugar, grim.

I'm off to Sainsburys in the morning!

Thingsthatgo · 09/01/2024 15:35

Thank you all for your help in this essential research. I popped into Sainsburys this morning, there were no jam donuts, but I bought the ring donuts. I am expecting great things!

Nothing beats a doughnut from a scabby van.

SoupDragon · 09/01/2024 16:29

I also vote Sainsbury's, but only when they are fresh. Light and fluffy with good jam and proper sugar. Worth going back tomorrow for!

blackpanth · 09/01/2024 16:30

Lidle do the best jam ones

Ifailed · 09/01/2024 16:41

Anything's better than the hateful krispy kreme abominations.

The infantile spelling doesn't help.

Els1e · 09/01/2024 16:53

My mum swears by Waitrose jam doughnuts.

You need them family early on in the day though...
Don't let them sweat OP!

Sainsbury's

GaroTheMushroom · 09/01/2024 17:02

None, supermarket doughnuts are awful, surprised so many saying Sainsbury’s I would say they are one of the worst

bendypines · 09/01/2024 17:06

I like Morrisons custard doughnuts.
