Pumpkin Spice Donuts

*makes: 12 donuts total time: 20 mins

• 1 box spice cake mix

• 1, 15 oz can pumpkin puree

Optional

• Sugar + Pumpkin Pie Spice and/or

• can of cream cheese frosting

Tools needed - Donut baking pan

1. Preheat your oven to 350.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the spice cake mix and canned pumpkin. Yep, that's it!

3. In a sprayed donut baking pan, spoon or pipe your dough mixture. I used a spoon to fill the donut pan which makes a smooth side and rough side. Piping would be smoother all around but also take more time in my opinion. I also like the rustic look of the donuts when dipped in frosting, they remind me of old-fashioned donuts

4. Bake your donuts for 12-14 minutes. Once cooked, while the donuts are still warm you can either mix together 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and coat your donuts.

5. Or, heat about 1/2 a container of cream cheese frosting in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften it and dip half the donuts for a glazed donut. Both ways are absolutely amazing.

6. Serve immediately for a breakfast, party, or just because you need a cozy fall treat!

   
   

Note: Add your frosting or sugar right before serving for best results.

These pair really nicely with our Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam coffee recipe!
