Pumpkin Doughnut Holes

Tina42 Comments

I love doughnuts and pumpkin flavor so these pumpkin doughnut holes are a match made in heaven.  I’ve made Mini Powdered Sugar Doughnut Muffins and German Chocolate Cake Doughnuts.  Both were based on recipes from Sally at Sally’s Baking Addiction.  (She has a bazillion awesome recipes so you have to go check her out if you haven’t already.)  These pumpkin doughnut holes are also a variation from Sally.  She’s officially my “doughnut baking guru.”     🙂  Thank you so much, Sally! These doughnut holes are full of great pumpkin spice flavor and covered with cinnamon powdered sugar. Pumpkin Doughnut Holes Recipe (Makes 34 doughnut …

Tiny Apple Pies Recipe  (Makes about 14 tiny …

I’m back from my mini vacation!  My husband and I had a lovely time in Quebec City  and I’m sure I’ll be talking more about our travels in some upcoming posts.     🙂 I love making quick breads because you don’t need to spend a lot of time on it (which would obviously be why they’re called that).  Although they do typically require a long time in the oven, so maybe they’re not that quick from start to finish.  Compared to a yeast bread that takes at least twice as long they’re downright speedy.  I love my Lemon Blueberry …

German Chocolate Cake Doughnuts

I’m funny sometimes.  I had no problem spending $100 on a new pair of heels the other day, but I didn’t want to spend $9 on a doughnut pan.  I guess I have my priorities.     😉 I’ve seen so many wonderful doughnut recipes out there and I finally broke down and bought a doughnut pan so I could join in on the fun of creating my own doughnut flavor. Since these doughnuts are the first ones I’ve made, I wanted them to be memorable.  I think I nailed it with these German chocolate cake doughnuts.     🙂  These doughnuts  reflect the traditional flavors of a …
