Happy October! What a perfect time to make a pumpkin dessert. It’s my first official pumpkin recipe of the season. Yay!

I knew I wanted to make chocolate pumpkin donuts but I wasn’t sure exactly what to frost them with until the other day when I found these at Target. Have you ever in your life seen these Pumpkin Spice Morsels? They make a perfect glaze for these chocolate pumpkin donuts.

Mix

But first, let me tell you how I made the donuts. They’re so easy. Just 4 ingredients – chocolate cake mix, a can of pumpkin, an egg and pumpkin pie spice. Mix it all together and you have your donut batter.

DonutsSteps

You also need a donut pan. This one is made by Wilton. Using a piping bag makes it much easier to fill the donut cups. Make sure to fill the batter to the top. I went around twice.

They bake quickly, just 8-10 minutes.

DonutGlazeSteps

Making the glaze is super simple too. Just melt the pumpkin spice morsels, butter, corn syrup and water in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Stir well, then dip your donuts.

Aren’t these candy corn colored sprinkles adorable! I got them at Target too.

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Donuts

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Donuts are chocolate cake mix donuts made with pumpkin puree added in and a pumpkin spice glaze. Chocolate and pumpkin spice is such a great flavor combo. Yummy Fall treat!
Prep Time20 mins
Cook Time10 mins
Servings: 14 donuts
Calories: 177kcal

Ingredients

For the donuts

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 15 ounce can of pumpkin (or 425 g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

For the glaze

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin spice morsels (I used Nestle Toll House) (or 90 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or 30 g)
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray donut pans with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Place the dry cake mix, pumpkin, egg and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, beat on low until ingredients are combined. Turn the speed up to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Batter will be thick.
  • Scoop the batter into a large pastry bag and pipe into prepared pans. Fill each pan cavity to the top.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool donuts in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Place in refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile make your glaze. Place all of the glaze ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave another 10-15 seconds, if needed. Glaze should be smooth and very easy to stir.
  • Dip chilled donuts in glaze and return to wire rack with wax paper underneath to catch the drippings. You can refrigerate them again for 20 minutes if you want them to set quickly. Eat immediately or store up to 1 day in the refrigerator.

    I love finding new recipes for an excuse to use my donut pans, plus I was wondering how I could use those chips. Saw them at our Target myself 🙂 Pinned to try!
