Baked Pumpkin Donuts Recipe

Fall means pumpkin season and have I got a treat for you! Pumpkin donuts are my absolute favorite fall snack and they are perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning or a cup of tea in the afternoon. My daughter loves to bake and pumpkin donuts have become one of her favorite things to make. This is an easy recipe that anyone can handle!

Pumpkin donuts are baked instead of fried so they have a moist, cake-like texture. They are delicious plain or dipped in cinnamon sugar and it’s a small batch recipe that can easily be doubled for sharing with friends. Plus they’re easy to make, so tasty, and save me an early morning trip to the donut shop!

How to Make Pumpkin Donuts

This easy pumpkin donuts recipe is perfect for beginner bakers and experienced chefs alike.

  1. Mix together wet ingredients.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients.
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then let them rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Fill the donut pan with batter.
  5. Bake until cooked all the way through and dip in cinnamon sugar.

What can I use instead of a donut pan?

To get that perfectly round shape with the signature hole in the center, use a donut pan. If you don’t have a donut pan and don’t really want to add one to your collection, you can use a muffin pan. This recipe will make about about a dozen muffins.

Recipe Notes and Tips

  • A great tip for filling the donut pan – pour the batter into a gallon sized plastic bag. Snip off one end and pipe the batter into the pan.
  • Love pumpkin spice? Swap it out for this cinnamon in this recipe!
  • Make a powdered sugar glaze instead by whisking powdered sugar with a little bit of milk and cinnamon and drizzling over the pumpkin donuts.
  • More recipes that use pumpkin puree: Pumpkin Pancakes, Pumpkin Sugar Cookies, Pumpkin Apple Bread and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. For something savory, try our Pumpkin Alfredo!

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree

Notes

Store leftover pumpkin puree in the freezer for the next time you have a craving for pumpkin donuts!
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for up to 5 days in a sealable plastic bag.
