Fill your home with the smell and flavor of the season with Mini Pumpkin Pie Spiced Donuts, a sweet morning treat baked with the quintessential flavor of fall.
“You won’t believe how easy it is to make these donuts at home,” said Mary Beth Harrington of the McCormick Kitchens. “They’re perfect to mix together with your kids – no trip to the bakery required.”
For the final touch, dip the donuts in a fall-inspired glaze. Flavors such as vanilla, mocha or maple complement the pumpkin spice in the donut, becoming the ultimate autumn indulgence.

Donuts:
2 cups all-purpose flour

You may also use an electric donut maker. Prepare as directed.) Set aside. Mix all ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan, using 1 tablespoon batter for each donut. Bake 10-12 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
