Healthier alternatives to donuts

After running a search on donuts on wikipedia, I learnt that donuts are sweet, deep-fried pieces of dough or batter. The two most common types are the torus-shaped ring doughnuts and filled doughnuts, a flattened sphere injected with jam/jelly, cream, custard, or another sweet filling. A small spherical piece of dough, originally made from the middle of a ring doughnut, may be cooked as a doughnut hole. Also, the donuts are deep fried in oil or fat, thus making them rich in fats and calories. Healthier alternatives to donuts could be whole grain bread, baguettes, and other foods like cereal.
