🕒 Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Total Time: 20 min

Ingredients

• 1 (15.25 oz) package spice cake mix
  
• 15 oz pumpkin puree (canned)
  
• 1 cup powdered sugar
  
• 2 tbsp milk
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep 🔥
   Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a donut pan for easy release.
   
2. Mix the Batter 🥣
   In a large bowl, combine spice cake mix and pumpkin puree. Beat until smooth – the batter will be thick and fragrant.
   
3. Pipe & Bake 🍩
   Transfer batter into a piping bag (or zip-top bag with the corner snipped). Pipe evenly into donut pan wells.
   Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until donuts spring back when gently pressed.
   
4. Cool & Glaze ✨
   Let donuts rest 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
   Dip donut tops into glaze, set back on the rack, and add sprinkles if desired.
   

Pro Tips 💡

• No donut pan? Use a muffin tin – they’ll be mini pumpkin cakes!
  
• Make it dairy-free: Swap milk with almond or oat milk.
  
• Meal prep: Freeze unglazed donuts for up to 2 months, glaze fresh before serving.
