3-Ingredient Baked Pumpkin Donuts
Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) cake mix (spice, yellow, white, or chocolate)
- 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tub (16 oz) prepared frosting (cream cheese, vanilla, or chocolate)
- Festive fall sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
- Pinch of ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional, for dusting)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pumpkin puree until smooth and well blended.
3. Spoon the batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
4. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
5. Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Once cooled, spread the prepared frosting over the top of each donut.
7. Garnish with festive fall sprinkles and dust lightly with ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if desired.
