About Cinnamon sugar doughnut
Cinnamon sugar doughnuts are a sweet, baked or fried confection made from dough and coated with a mix of cinnamon and sugar. Originating in America with influences from Dutch and German cuisine, they are a breakfast staple or dessert item known for their soft, airy texture and sweet-spicy flavor. Nutritionally, these doughnuts are high in carbohydrates and sugars due to refined flour and added sweeteners, providing quick energy but limited micronutrients. While cinnamon adds some phytonutrients, antioxidants, and a trace of manganese, the overall nutritional profile is calorie-dense with moderate fats and proteins depending on the recipe and preparation method.
Health Benefits
- Cinnamon contains antioxidants like polyphenols that may protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Manganese in cinnamon supports bone development and metabolic processes (providing approximately 20% of daily value per teaspoon).
- Doughnuts provide quick energy through carbohydrates, helpful for fueling intense physical activities in moderation.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer preservation. Reheat briefly in the oven for freshness.
