These baked pumpkin donuts will be a recipe you revisit every fall. A soft and fluffy doughnut with a powdered sugar glaze on top. They're easy to make and delicious!
When you think of fall you immediately think of pumpkin and apple flavors. I've been fall baking since the end of August so I'm ready! I've been cranking out the pumpkin recipes left and right starting with these baked pumpkin doughnuts. I love baking donuts because it's pretty simple. There isn't a lot of mess that goes into baking donuts compared to frying them. Both are equally good but sometimes I don't feel like frying things. So if you're like me and you want to just pop a recipe in the oven, this is the recipe for you.
Why you'll love these baked pumpkin donuts 🎃
These donuts have pumpkin puree in them along with some of my favorite fall spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The pumpkin flavor isn't strong so you don't get overwhelmed with the flavor. I like to have a taste of all of the ingredients and not just one that takes over the rest. I want it to have an equal blend of flavor.
This recipe is very simple to whip up. There's a short prep and bake time which means you don't have to spend all day in the kitchen. I would LOVE if you made this recipe and let me know what you think! Leave me a comment and rate these baked pumpkin donuts.
Enjoy!
