Yep, that’s right. Have your donut with bacon…pretty genius really. I almost want to call these the ‘Pancakes and Bacon’ donut. For as long as I can remember, if I have pancakes and bacon together I end up dipping the bacon in the syrup. That’s what these donuts remind me of – sweet and salty all the way.
I hope you’re enjoying this donut week – Nutella Swirl and Cinnamon Sugar – make sure you stop by on Friday and check out our sweet little donut giveaway!

I love maple bacon donuts. Gorgeous!
I thought of Aimee ^ when I saw these! Maple + bacon works SO well together–I think of pancakes or waffles and bacon every single time.
These look phenomenal!
