Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

These delicious and easy baked donuts that are topped with a Cinnamon Vanilla glaze and are so incredibly easy to make. Not only are they easy to make, they are also BAKED. Yep, that’s right. I personally think baked donuts come out better then traditional donuts because they are more caky and moist. This is why they are The Best Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts.

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

I loved using my new donut baking pan I got as a gift from my bridal shower earlier this year and the first thing I wanted to make was pumpkin spice donuts! I never thought baked donuts would taste as good as they do but they are even better and so moist! They truly are the best.

Who knew you could make homemade donuts in less than an hour? This easy step-by-step recipe is almost too easy. Every bite of these donuts are filled with the flavors of Fall and make a perfect morning treat! Especially on cool, crispy Fall mornings.

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

The dough consistency is a cake and cookie dough batter combined. It isn’t as thick as cookie dough, but slightly thicker than cake batter. It is OK to have a few lumps in the dough- just be sure not to over mix otherwise your donuts won’t be as fluffy.

The ziplock bag helps the donut batter form into the donut pan. The baking soda and baking powder in this recipe makes these donuts extra fluffy and perfect.

I topped half of these pumpkin donuts with chopped pecans and the other half I left simply frosted. You can even leave the donuts unfrosted if you prefer!
