Pumpkin Donuts
I know it’s only July, but I am a fall girl any day of the year. Every year I wait for fall baking, cooler weather, and pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING. These pumpkin donuts come together in under 30 minutes and are perfect for anytime of the year!
These donuts are like fluffy pumpkin cakes. They’re not fried, so they’re a bit healthier! If you are looking for an even healthier alternative, you can skip the sugar coating and they’ll still be delicious.

Pumpkin Donuts
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and brown sugar.
- Next, add the oil and milk.
- Once smooth, add the flour and spices. Mix again until the batter is smooth.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag or ziplock (and snip off the corner).
- Spray your donut tray with non-stick spray and pipe the batter into the mold.
- Make sure to fill the mold all the way because the donuts don't rise too much.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. The donuts should be set and bouncy.
- Allow the donuts to cool for a few minutes before coating.
Sugar Coating
- If you don't want your donuts to be too sweet, you could go ahead and skip this step.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.
- Brush the melted butter on the donuts and dip them into the sugar mixture and enjoy!
