# Biscuit Donut Hybrids The Bisnut Combines the Look of a Donut with the Texture of a Biscuit By M | Published 2014-06-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisnut References: [firstwefeast](http://firstwefeast.com/eat/carls-jr-bisnut-hybrid/) & [carlsjr](http://www.carlsjr.com/) The Bisnut by [Carl's Jr.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candied-bacon-lineup) is the latest donut hybrid to join the ranks of the [Cronut croissant donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banquet-dor-biscofffilled-croissants) and the [Wonut waffle donut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-bites). The Bisnut offers foodies the chance to take a bite out of a donut-infused sprinkled biscuit for $0.99. The Bisnuts are advertised by Carl's Jr. as a "made from scratch" baked treat. Allegedly Bisnuts are made from a hybrid donut and biscuit batter that is denser than your average airy donut dough. The Bisnut is even shaped like a regular donut with the only difference being the texture. The Bisnuts come with either a white or chocolate icing topped with sprinkles. While these Bisnuts are simply a trial run for the company, hopefully Carl's Jr. will release more exciting flavors for foodies to try. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Donut Hybrids:** The rise of Bisnut, Cronut, and Wonut indicates a trend for hybrid desserts that combine two famous treats into a single delicious treat. - **Texture Innovation:** The success of Bisnut which boasts a denser, biscuit-like texture, indicates that companies can innovate by focusing on texture, creating a new twist on traditional desserts. - **Made-from-scratch Baked Goods:** As consumers look for healthier, better-quality food, made-from-scratch baked goods like the Bisnut can provide an excellent opportunity for quick-service restaurants to capitalize on consumer demand for healthier options with better ingredients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** Fast-food restaurants can capitalize on food hybrid trends by creating innovative, unique food mashups that appeal to consumers' desires for novelty and indulgence. - **Desserts:** Companies can innovate in the dessert industry by focusing on texture, creating new and unique dessert experiences or by introducing hybrids and limited-edition flavors. - **Artisanal Baking:** The trend toward artisanal baking, with a focus on homemade, healthier, higher-quality ingredients, provides an excellent opportunity for businesses to create new product lines or offer fresh takes on established favorites, like the Bisnut. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Biscuit Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-biscoff-doughnuts.md) - [Hybrid Mashup Snack Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honeybun-donettes.md) - [Biscoff-Flavored Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biscoff-donuts.md) - [Summery QSR Biscuits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-blueberry-biscuits.md) - [Cookie Crumb Donut Holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-dots.md) - [Hybrid Cookie Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-crookie.md) - [Cinnabon-Shaped Croissant Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crookie-2.md) - [Collaboration Cookie Spread Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-and-lotus-bakeries.md) - [Sweet-Savory Bagel Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philadelphia-cream-cheese-debuts.md)
