Equipment

Ingredients
 

Donuts

  • 18 ounces Spice Cake Mix, 1 box
  • 15 ounces Pumpkin Puree, 1 can
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Glaze

  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Torani Salted Caramel Flavored Syrup

Instructions
 

Donuts

  • Stir together cake mix, pumpkin and water until no lumps remain.
  • Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Use a piping bag to fill the donut baking pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until until a tooth pick, inserted into the center, comes out clean.

Glaze

  • Stir together sugar and syrup. If mixture is too thick, add small amounts of syrup until desired consistency is reached.
  • Spread glazed on slightly cooled donuts.

Christina's Notes

  • Syrup Flavors: Use your favorite flavor of syrup to make the glaze, or use a sugar-free option.
  • Make from Scratch: Make these donuts from scratch with flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and melted butter. The spices you need include cinnamon sugar, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Decorate: For a party decorate the cupcakes with cute little decorations.
  • Alternate cooking method tip: Air frying is a great option for this recipe.
  • Muffin Tin: Make pumpkin spice muffins in a muffin pan if you don't have a donut pan.
  • Mini Donuts: If you want to make a bite-sized version of this doughnuts recipe, make sure to use a smaller-sized tin. Follow the recipe exactly, but half the ingredients if you're making them smaller.
  • Pumpkin Spice Sugar Glaze: Add powdered sugar and pumpkin spice into the glaze as well. You can even mix in some crunchy cinnamon sugar for texture.
  • Sprinkles: Use colorful sprinkles or candies or chocolate chips for a little crunch.
  • Icing: Try using a cream cheese or chocolate frosting for the donuts.
