Where's The Best Place To Get A Donut In Montana?

For many, nothing says happiness like the perfect donut.

Now, what makes the perfect donut is certainly debatable. Is it glazed? Something with filling? Is the filling jelly or cream? Do you prefer a cake donut or a yeast donut? See, there are lots of options, and it can be a tough choice to pick what is indeed the best donut.

I bring this up because National Donut Day is just around the corner, and many folks will be celebrating by having a dozen or two.

Here in Montana, we have some fantastic places to grab a donut. In Bozeman, there's Granny's Donuts, which, by the way, has been voted one of the best donut shops in the United States. Bozeman is also home to the Dilly Dally Donut Bar, which offers massive donuts, and you need to check out Lone Peak Provisions donuts in Four Corners.

What's the most popular donut in Montana?

Of course, there are several other donut shops across Big Sky Country, but the question is, what is Montana's favorite donut? According to the folks over at Yay! Coloring Pages: The most popular donut in Montana isn't a jelly donut or a glazed one. It's not a Long John or a maple bar.

The most popular donut in Montana is the Bear Claw.

Yep, you read that right, the Bear Claw. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm ok with eating a Bear Claw now and then, but the most popular? Really? I'm not sure I believe that. Oh, and in case you are wondering, Montana is the only state where the Bear Claw has been named the most popular donut in the state.
