This recipe is very similar to my strawberry doughnuts for the summer. I have changed up a few of the ingredients to make them a little heartier and healthier. This baked pumpkin spice doughnut recipe will warm your insides as well as keep you feeling full all morning long.
Do I need a deep fryer to make donuts?
Nope. Baked doughnuts are a healthier than fried. Baking them makes them more cake like. Most fried doughnuts are made with a yeast batter to help them rise when they are fried. Baked doughnuts are made use eggs and baking powder and baking soda to rise and make fluffy doughnuts.
What is the best donut pan?
This is the best one I love to use is this one. I love the silicone because the doughnuts just pop right out. The silicone still needs to be greased so the doughnuts easily come right out. I have not had a problem with these at all. You can order them from Amazon and get them delivered straight to your door, so you don’t need to go searching for them at the stores. I don’t even know what stores carry these.
What can I use instead of a doughnut pan?
You can try this simple trick. Ball up a small piece of aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray. This will make it easy to remove later. Place the ball in the middle of a muffin tin to make round doughnuts with holes without a doughnut pan. Or bake as muffins and use a small circle cookie cutter like on in this set and cut out the middles. You can still eat both!
