The maple bacon donut also spelled doughnut is a breakfast or dessert food that has become popular in some areas of the United States and Canada. It is distinct from other donuts because of the prominent bacon and maple syrup–flavored glaze used for toppings and has been discussed in the media as part of the phenomenon sometimes referred to as bacon mania.^[1] The bacon donut has been described as tasting like a "camping breakfast" (Pancakes with maple syrup, breakfast sausage links, and strips of bacon) all in one convenient item.

The Swirls bakery in Omaha, Nebraska, started a "maple bacon donut craze" with its version sometimes referred to as "The Elvis".^[2] The bakery's owner, Dawn Brown, said she wanted something shocking that people would love or hate, and would talk about. She describes the concept as simple: "It's your breakfast plate turned into one item that you put in your mouth." She reported: response from her customers has been overwhelming, and she prepares five pounds of bacon daily. "I know that most people are coming for the maple bacon donut a.k.a. 'The Elvis'."^[2]
