***I’ve updated this post to include a giveaway for one mini donut pan. I’m so excited about them I ordered another one for me and one for you! Enter below the recipe. Open to US and Canada only.
Listen mini donuts, you’re not fooling me. You may appear all little and cute but in reality you just pop into my mouth easier. Makes it pretty convenient to keep going back for more. Ok, just one more.
I bought this mini donut pan last month while I was on a weekend getaway with my daughter. Stuffed it into my hoarder baking pan cupboard and forgot about it until I was thinking about what to do with some pumpkin in the fridge.
Can it be January already? I feel like I’m a bit out of control with the pumpkin this year.
I guess this is what happens when you don’t use it all year. Fall rolls around and I’m all over it!
It’s hard not to make mini donuts when they’re this easy. Using a piping bag gets the job done in no time!
These little guys bake in only 5 minutes. Seriously, in 5 minutes you get donuts. Baked pumpkin donuts with maple glaze. Keyword: Baked. We’re going to wink here and claim healthy. 😉
- 1¼ cup cake flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp buttermilk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and spice.
- Add the buttermilk, pumpkin, egg and melted butter.
- Stir until all combined.
- Fill each donut cup ½ full using a spoon or piping bag.
- Bake the donuts for 5 minutes. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before placing them on a cooling rack. Repeat for the rest of the batter.
- In a medium pan melt the butter and add the brown sugar until fully dissolved.
- Stir in the buttermilk, maple and vanilla.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar until fully combined.
- Dip one side of the donut and place them back on the cooling rack.
These look and sound amazing…I need me one of those pans! I stumbled this recipe to 🙂
Thanks Wanda! I’m really liking stumbling 🙂
Wow, these look so good. Didn’t know you could get those donut pans- how adorable!
Thanks Shauna, I just love how tiny they are! I got it at Michaels.
I have never made donuts and i so want to try 🙂
Looks YUMMY!! I’d try a chocolate donut, maybe dip it in your salted carmel sauce:-)
Cute – will be popular at parties!
Would love to make chocolate donuts with a salted caramel glazing! (Hehe I should read instructions carefully)
I love old fashioned honey glazed – they’d be first, then chocolate with sprinkles 🙂 Love the piping bag tip!
Those doughnuts are adorable. I’m gluten free but bet your recipe would work with an all-purpose gluten free blend 🙂
Now wouldn’t the gang at work just love a batch of these
I’m looking for a good pumpkin doughnut recipe — thanks for sharing yours. I’ll try it!

I would make plain glazed or white chocolate doughnuts.
I would like to make an old fashioned cake doughnut
I would make some kick butt red velvet mini donuts with a cream cheese glaze! These donuts look awesome though, i think i’ll make some tomorrow
I think I would try the recipe on the post.
I would start off with the recipe here then look for some more-I’ve never made donuts at home, but would love to try!
I’d like to try your recipe with the maple glaze, but I’d also like to make a traditional glazed donut.
