Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box spice cake mix
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a donut pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
- Add in the spice cake mix and stir until just combined; the batter should be thick.
- Scoop the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag and pipe it into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 8–12 minutes, adjusting time by pan size, until donuts spring back when pressed.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, blend the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
- Dip each donut in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until coated.
Notes
For best results, use fresh pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
These donuts can also be glazed with your favorite frosting for a sweeter touch.
