When I was growing up, my dad always took us kids to get donuts on Saturday morning. I now do that with my own grandkids and they always look forward to donuts when I am there on a Saturday. Being that donuts are special in our family, sometimes making them at home are just as good. Especially with this Pumpkin Donuts Recipe.
Don’t these just look donut store-bought worthy? I thought so.
These would be so amazing dipped into some creamy hot chocolate.
Just sayin.
So get your donut baking pan out. Here we go!
Pumpkin Donuts Recipe
Ingredients:
½ cup oil, vegetable or canola
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (See our recipe to make this HERE)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Cinnamon Sugar for topping, ¼ cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon mixed together
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Coat donut pans with non-stick cooking spray
In a large bowl beat together the oil, eggs, sugar and pumpkin until smooth
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt and baking powder
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat just until smooth
Fill donut pan about ¾ full ** see notes in recipe below
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned
Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes
Remove from pan
If using glaze, let donuts cool completely, then dip into glaze
Seriously if you made too many of these, people would want them forever and you’d have to start your own donut business.
So yummy.
