    Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Maple Glaze

    It's November and there is an expectation that I make recipes with Pumpkin in it. My wife was having a potluck at work so I decided to make these Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Maple Glaze for her to bring to the potluck.

    I've had mixed results baking donuts in the past. It can be a little challenging to get them just right so they are not rubbery. The couple of times I've made these pumpkin donuts they've turned out perfectly!

    Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Maple Glaze

    My donut pan can only make 6 donuts at a time and I noticed a slight difference in the texture between both batches. I suggest starting with 13 minutes and checking them with a toothpick but in my experience, 14 minutes seems to be the sweet spot.

    Maple Extract can be a little challenging to find in your local grocery store. The 3 I checked did not carry it so I had to order mine online. Or you can always substitute for vanilla extract since it's such a small amount but it might change the flavor a bit.

    If you enjoy making donuts at home, you should give The Salvation Army Donuts recipe a try. It's the very same recipe that was used during WWI and WWII!

      Who does not like donuts. Especially if they are oven made and not deep fried. These pumpkin donuts are the best I have ever made and tasted.
