When fall arrives, or typically as soon as the kids head back to school, I get into homemaker mode. I start baking and making comfort foods for dinner while spending the day taking care of other household tasks that I got behind on while the kids were home. Yesterday was the first day of school so I wanted to make something yummy for an after school snack. I just got some new donut pans from Zulay Kitchen that I had been dying to try, so Homemade Pumpkin Spice Donuts it was!
I’ve never made donuts before but they were incredibly easy to make. I can’t wait to try other flavors and different glazes. The options are endless! I started with Pumpkin Spice because, hello….FALL! Here’s the recipe I used:
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 15oz. can pumpkin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 3/4 cups flour
COATING:
- 1 stick butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pans with non-stick cooking spray. The Zulay pans I used are non-stick so this may not be necessary.
- In a large bowl add all ingredients except the flour. Mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the flour stirring until smooth.
- Fill the wells of the donut pans about 3/4 full. I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop out the batter and pour it into the donut molds.
- Bake donuts 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove donuts from the oven. After a few minutes, transfer them to a cooling rack.
- After the donuts have cooled off a bit but are still warm, quickly dip them on each side in the melted butter, then gently shake them in a bag with the sugar and cinnamon mixture to coat.
