Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin purée with the entire box of spice cake mix. Stir together until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and form a smooth batter.
  2. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or spray it with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the donuts after baking.
  3. Fill the donut pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  4. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the donuts are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with your favorite glaze or toppings.

Notes

  • Use a spice cake mix that already contains cinnamon, nutmeg, and other warm spices for best flavor.
  • You can add a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a little milk or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  • Donuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free spice cake mix.
  • Make sure not to overfill the donut pan to prevent spills during baking.
