Servings: 36 donuts

Ingredients

  • 1 Spice Cake Mix
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 can Pumpkin (puree, not pumpkin pie mix) 15 oz

Cinnamon sugar topping

  • 2/3 cup White or Brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp Cinnamon or substitute pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup Butter melted

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, and oil until combined.
  • Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir in the spice cake mix until the mixture is incorporated.
  • Preheat donut maker.
  • Meanwhile, pour the donut batter into a gallon size ziplock bag. Snip off a corner to make a dime sized hole.
  • When donut maker is preheated, spray it with nonstick spray. Pipe out batter into each donut well, filling the bottom half of the donut well.
  • Close the donut maker and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove donuts to cool on a wire rack and continue with the next batch. You'll be able to make about 36 mini donuts. You should not need to add nonstick spray between every batch; only add it if the donuts begin to stick.
  • Place melted butter in one small bowl. Mix together cinnamon and sugar in another small bowl. Dip the top side of each donut quickly in butter, then in the cinnamon sugar.
  • Donuts taste best when completely cool. Store in a covered container at room temperature.

Notes

If you do not have a donut maker, you can bake these in a donut pan in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease your donut pan(s) and fill wells about 3/4 of the way full - you may need 2 pans or to make 2 batches. Bake for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
