Ingredients
Pumpkin Donuts
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoon melted butter
Cinnamon Crumb Topping
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon melted butter
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a doughnut pan with non-stick baking spray.
- Make the pumpkin donut batter: In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, and 3 tablespoons melted butter until smooth and combined.
- Make the crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons melted butter and stir until the mixture is combined and crumbly.
- Fill the pan: Fill the wells of the doughnut pan about ⅔ full with the pumpkin batter. Sprinkle the cinnamon crumb mixture evenly over the tops.
- Bake: Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the donuts are set. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Make the vanilla glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add additional milk, a little at a time, if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Glaze and serve: Once the donuts are completely cooled, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the tops. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Fill each well about ⅔ full to leave room for the donuts to rise.
- Avoid overbaking, as cake donuts can become dry quickly.
- Allow the donuts to cool completely before glazing so the glaze doesn't melt into the crumb topping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
