Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Fall is my favorite. Along with all things pumpkin. And donuts are a weekend staple in my house. Not only do I love Saturday morning DD trips, but I also love baking them at home. They don't take long, usually less than 20 minutes start to finish. Plus, they're much healthier. 
Today, I am sharing a recipe I recently tried.  One that combines my love of donuts and pumpkin. These donuts are so moist, light and delicious. I served them at a playdate, not only did the adults love them but the kids did too! Enjoy! 


Pumpkin Donuts
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the donut pans.
  2. Beat together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, spices, salt, and baking powder until smooth.
  3. Add the flour, continue mixing until batter is smooth.
  4. Fill the donuts about 3/4 full. An easy way to do this is to pour the batter into a plastic bag, cut the corner and pipe it into the donut pan.
  5. Bake donuts for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
  6. Transfer donuts to a cooling rack carefully once they've cooled for a few minutes.
  7. Combine another 1/4 cup of sugar and 2 tsp of cinnamon in a bowl. Mix completely. Pour cinnamon sugar mixture into a gallon plastic bag.
  8. Gently place donuts into a large bag filled with the cinnamon sugar mixture and coat completely.
  9. Place out on a cooling rack to cool or enjoy warm!

Funfetti Cake Mix Donuts

It's been too long since I've posted a recipe here on SMWL. Earlier this year, I went through rebranding with my personal blog and launched a website for my shop. That plus two little ones under three makes for busy days and not a lot of time for this recipe blog. 

Anyhow, today I'm sharing a quick and easy donut recipe. They're perfect for spring and are ready in under a half hour. Perfect for Sunday morning and sure to be enjoyed by the whole family! 


Ingredients

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray donut pan with non stick cooking spray. Make sure to spray it well. 
  2. Mix the water, oil and egg together. 
  3. Add the dry cake mix to the water, egg and oil mixture. Stir well or use a mixer to combine. 
  4. Pour into donut pan. I found the best way it to scoop the mix into a gallon ziplock bag, cut a corner off and pipe it into the pan.
  5. Bake 8-10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to cool for a minute before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely before glazing. 
  6. For the glaze, I've used melted frosting before as well as a simple confectioner sugar/water mixture. For these donuts, I used sugar and milk. Just mix until you get the consistency you want. I use 1 TBS milk for every 3/4 cup sugar. I used a thin glaze for this donut. For a thicker white glaze, add less milk. 
  7. After donuts were glazed, I added spring sprinkles to top them off! 
  8. I hope you enjoy these funfetti cake mix donuts!
