Are Donuts Breakfast or Dessert? Putting an End to the Debate the Shipley Donuts Way

 

All of us love donuts. Nevertheless, when it comes to the question of donuts being breakfast food or dessert, most of us are starkly divided.

Some of us prefer donuts in the morning with our cup of coffee while others enjoy these pastries as desserts.

So what is the real way to enjoy donuts? In the morning as a breakfast food or after meals as desserts? We are here to settle this debate once and for all.

Before we get into these two perspectives, however, we have to dive a little into the history of donuts.

The Argument

Donuts were brought to America by the Dutch in the form of oily cakes. Soon, these cakes were introduced with holes and became one of America’s favorite snacks.

So, donuts started off as desserts.

Eventually came the donut machines and donuts became an inherent part of the American bakeries. Now, since bakeries used to serve their customers with a cup of coffee with their choice of bread, donuts too started coming as a combo with the cup of joe.

And this is how donuts started to shift into the breakfast food category.

But this is not it. The reason some people prefer donuts as breakfast food while others see it as dessert also has to do with human psychology.

When we wake up in the morning, our body is starved and our blood sugar levels are low. In order to compensate for that, our brain demands us to eat something sweet. Since donuts are one of the tastiest sweet treats known to mankind, many of us choose to eat donuts in the morning.

Others prefer donuts as dessert because they are sweet, flavorful, and make for the best end of the meal snacks.
