Flavorful Fall Baked Pumpkin Donuts
Since these donuts aren’t fried, you will need a pan for baking them. I prefer a full sized donut pan, in metal as I have found the silicone ones to stick. I would have shared an after, or final product picture, but they vanished too quickly. I didn’t even get a chance to glaze them!

Add wet mix to the dry and fold into a smooth batter.

Pop the batter into a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch round tip and piped into each donut pan cavity until they are all half full.
