Both are yummy but the difference is an eclair is a longer donut, it has a split down the side like a hot dog bun and has cream filling, more of a whipped filling, then there is the yummy chocolate on top. A boston cream donut is a round donut with the boston cream filling inside and chocolate on top. They are similar in tastes but different sizes/shapes and the eclair cream is normally more of a whipped cream taste. Now I want a donut lol.

Eclairs are long -john type versions of the cream puff with custard inside and chocolate on top---the dough flaky and crispy whereas a boston cream doughnut is just a fried donut with heavier cake-like batter, custard filling and chocolate frosting.

Bavarian and boston cream are the same fillings. Also the custard in an eclair (as long as they dont use whip cream with it) it is a custard The difference is that bavarian tend to have chocolate and boston cream tend to have powdered sugar (confectioners sugar) But sometimes the boston cream have powdered sugar on top but fruit in the middle

Besides the fact that an eclair is long and a doughnut is round, the dough is different.

Boston Creme Donut

Bavarian is filled with the Boston Cream filling, but is powdered. Boston Cream has chocolate frosting on top instead. However, this is only Dunkin' Donuts experience, not culinary expertise.

The difference is the pastry one is puff pastry and the other is dough that contain yeast , the cream is the same only to make it more fancy in the eclairs they call it ,Chantilly cream.

an eclair is made with an choux pastry dough and are baked; donuts are made with with a different type of dough and are fried. Both are filled with pastry cream though.

It's best to avoid fried foods, so I'll take the eclair.
