Glazed Pumpkin Donuts

Teresa Ambra

Oh my gosh, Glazed Pumpkin Donuts are to die for. Really. These delectable donuts are everything you want for breakfast, and then some. The recipe includes pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to boost the flavor. Then they’re dunked in a vanilla glaze and sprinkled with cinnamon before serving. These are truly finger-lickin’ good….as the saying goes.

Back in December, I made several kinds of homemade donuts for John. I wanted him to take them out to his office before everyone started taking vacation time during the holidays. He put out about 75-100 donuts in the employee break room and they were scarfed down in a few hours. Not a drop left. We heard all kinds of wonderful comments about the donuts. I thought it would be a nice treat for them. I plan to do it at least once a month in the future.

I tried to come up with different concoctions of donuts. It was easy to come up with ones for fruit. But I had 10 cans of pumpkin John purchased for 10 cents a piece. I knew I was going to have to try to use up some of that pumpkin. So Glazed Pumpkin Donuts were born. I followed the same basic recipe as my other donuts. But I left out the butter and oil and substituted the canned pumpkin instead. They really turned out awesome.

Glazed Pumpkin Donuts are terrific for fall and winter baking, holidays and certainly for company. The folks at John’s office gave these luscious donuts, two thumbs up. Enjoy.

      Hi, Vanessa. I think they will keep a few days out on the counter. After that you probably need to refrigerate them.
