PUMPKIN DONUTS
Donuts…and Pumpkin…need I say more? It seems like with the beginning of Fall, I start craving Pumpkin flavored baked goods and Hot Cocoa…sometimes when it is still 90 degrees outside. The kids and I have become obsessed with our donut maker we found at Target several months ago…so we decided to give some Pumpkin Donuts a try…and…well, we were not disappointed.
HOMEMADE DONUTS
You can forego the cinnamon and sugar and/or the chocolate chips…but would you really want to? If you are going to have a dessert…you might as well have dessert. And…if they are the mini donuts…well you might even be able to have two!

My family really loved these donuts…but you can’t really blame them. We made them for the big rival college football game we had a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately our team lost. But we still had a great time watching the game. I am thinking these may have had a little to do with that! ;)

Chocolate chips and sugar coating? I am so loving that idea!! They look great! Now I think I need to make some donuts!
Amy says
I know right?! So unhealthy…but so good!
They look delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe Amy!
Awww! Thanks so much Desi! xo
Random question…How have you collected the Starbucks bottles? Are there some without coffee in them? Can’t wait to try the doughnuts! Yummy!
I haven’t found any without the coffee. Luckily I have a coffee drinker in the family who I get them from (since I don’t drink it)…or if I have had to buy the bottles I will save the coffee for this person! Win-Win for both of us!
Thanks, Amy!
Quick question: On the coconut oil, did you melt it or leave it solid when you mixed with other ingredients?
Good Question! I just barely melted it so that it was not hot. Just a few seconds in the microwave!
Oh thank you…wonderful! I picked up a never used Donut Maker at Goodwill for $5 last week! Can’t wait to try these tonight!
These look so good! I have never made doughnuts but these make me want to try!
Thanks Amanda! I was surprised how easy they are when you have a baking pan or a donut maker! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting! Hope you are doing well!
