Pumpkin Spice Donuts
Move over Krispy Kreme: you're going to fall in love with these pumpkin spice donuts!
This mouth-watering treat has become a seasonal favorite in my household. These baked cake donuts can be topped with a pumpkin spice–sugar mixture and/or a maple glaze. Ridiculously easy to make. Insanely tasty. Incredibly soft and pillowy. What more could you ask for?
