Baked Pumpkin Donuts (You Won’t Believe How Easy!)

These 4-ingredient Baked Pumpkin Donuts are the easiest fall treat! Fluffy, warmly spiced, and made with just cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, and oil—ready in minutes without the mess of frying.

  • Total Time: 19 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • Optional: cinnamon sugar or maple glaze for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan or muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, and oil until smooth and well combined.
  3. Transfer batter to a piping bag or Ziploc bag with the corner snipped.
  4. Pipe batter into prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
  5. Bake for 12–14 minutes or until donuts spring back when touched.
  6. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
  7. Optional: Dip warm donuts in cinnamon sugar or drizzle with maple glaze.

Notes

No donut pan? Use a muffin tin and bake 15–18 minutes. Want extra lift? Add ½ tsp baking powder. For crunch, top with pecans or cinnamon sugar before baking. Store in an airtight container for 3 days or freeze for 2 months.
