These Bake Pumpkin Donuts with Salted Caramel Glaze are one of my favorite easy dessert recipes.

This post contains sponsored links from Torani, however all opinions are 100% my own. 

Would you believe that my son does not like donuts?  It’s not like he just doesn’t care for them or prefers something else over donuts.  I mean he literally gags.  I couldn’t believe it the first time I witnessed it for myself.

Seriously.  I even questioned if he was my kid.  I mean, who doesn’t like donuts?!?

But this tune was about to change.

A few weeks ago, I made these Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Salted Caramel Glaze.  It’s a really easy dessert recipe that can be whipped up in under 30 minutes – start to finish.

While they were baking, the house smelled fantastic!  The aromas of  warm spices in the batter and the sweet caramel from the glaze filled the house.  It was a beautiful thing.  It made me feel all warm and cozy.

It also drew my son into the kitchen from his bedroom.  I’ll take any opportunity to cook with him so he and I glazed these donuts together.

To my surprise, he asked to try one.  And, it turns out he actually liked them!  (Honestly, I think the overtly sugariness of traditional donuts that turns him off.)

He liked them so much that he at about 3 of them (I made mini donuts so this wasn’t such a gluttonous thing)!

He really liked the Salted Caramel Glaze on top.  It sounds like it would be difficult to make, but really, it was quite simple.  It’s a mixture of powdered sugar and Torani Salted Caramel Flavoring Syrup.

To make this recipe easier, I used a piping bag to fill the donut baking pan.  You can use a full-size donut pan or a mini donut pan (like I used).
