Pumpkin Donuts Baked

These baked pumpkin donuts are covered in cinnamon sugar for the ultimate fall feeling. If you prefer you can top these with a simple glaze instead.

These pumpkin donuts are bursting with pumpkin flavor, they have *pumpkin puree* and pumpkin spice.

I was today years old when I discovered that pumpkin spice doesn’t actually have any pumpkin in it. That was a mind blowing discovery. I always thought if it was called pumpkin spice it would have pumpkin, but in reality it is the spices that go well with pumpkin and traditionally is used in pumpkin pie.

These autumn flavors are created using some seasonal ingredients as well as pantry staples.

• Pumpkin puree, use this and not pumpkin pie filling that has other ingredients added
• Brown sugar
• Egg
• Buttermilk, you can also make your own, get a easy recipe here
• Oil
• Vanilla extract
• Flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Pumpkin spice
• Butter, sugar and cinnamon

I love simple recipes and this one fits the bill. There are lots of ingredients, but only a few easy steps. Follow along with the following steps and you’ll be eating these fluffy donuts in just a few short minutes!

1. Mix the wet ingredients together (puree, sugar, egg, buttermilk. vanilla and oil)
2. Mix the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, spices)
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together
4. Bake the donuts
5. Top with cinnamon sugar
6. And enjoy!!

Yes! If you don’t have a donut pan you can definitely still make this recipe. You can use a muffin pan or a mini muffin pan for Muffin “donuts” which taste just as good, in a different shape. Just add or take away baking time depending on the size of your mold.

Make this recipe in a mini muffin pan for adorable donuts! This recipe makes about 3 and half dozen mini donuts. Just bake for about 8 minutes for mini muffins.

Yes! You can absolutely freeze these donuts. I recommend freezing them in an airtight container or ziplock bag and keep for up to a month in the freezer. Once the donuts are defrosted heat them in the microwave for a few seconds for ultimate freshness.
