Ingredients for baked pumpkin doughnuts

1 (15oz) can 100% pure pumpkin puree

How to make homemade pumpkin spice doughnuts
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350℉ / 176℃ and spray two doughnut mold baking pans with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs and oil until well blended.
Add entire spice cake mix to large bowl and stir with a rubber spatula or large mixing spoon until just incorporated and no dry mix remains.
Transfer batter to a gallon size plastic baggie and snip one corner (about an inch long) and squeeze and pipe evenly into doughnut mold pans. Note: you can also spoon batter into pan, but I find the piping method quick and easy.
Place pans into center of preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until when checked with a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs or you can also quickly press doughnut down with your finger and if doughnut bounces back it should be ready. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring doughnuts to a cooling rack.
To make maple glaze:
Add sugar, syrup and vanilla to a medium bowl and stir briskly until thoroughly blended. Add milk, 1 tsp at a time, to reach desired consistency. Spoon glaze over doughnuts and enjoy immediately.
What better way to start your day then with these soft and delicious freshly baked doughnuts. What an easy recipe for pumpkin spice doughnuts with a maple glaze that you can prepare and enjoy in less then 30 minutes with only four ingredients.
I shared these with family and friends and from several the feedback was: “These are the BEST doughnuts I’ve had!” and “So delicious and perfect for fall.”
