Pumpkin Spice Cake Mix Donuts 

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and eggs. If you’re using cinnamon and nutmeg for extra flavor, add those too.
2. Stir the mixture until well combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Step 3: Fill the Donut Pan

1. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. You can also use a piping bag for a cleaner fill.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool and Glaze

1. Once baked, let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

Step 5: Glaze and Serve

1. Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze or drizzle it over the top. For an extra festive touch, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg.
2. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before enjoying your delicious pumpkin spice donuts!
