Baked Pumpkin Donuts with Marshmallow Crème Frosting

Are you guys tired of pumpkin yet? No? Me neither. 😛 I’ve been taking full advantage of pumpkin season this year. Stocking up on my pumpkin spice candles, pumpkin décor and of course pumpkin recipes! These delicious Baked Pumpkin Donuts are the newest pumpkin-filled dessert on my blog. And the best part about them is they include a sweet marshmallow frosting that compliments the pumpkin flavor perfectly!

BAKING THE DONUTS

Baked donuts are my favorite because they’re so much easier to make and have a nice, cake-like consistency. For a standard six-slot donut pan, I only had to bake the donuts for 11 minutes which was a great time saver. I only had one donut pan to work with so I baked the donuts in batches, but thanks to the short bake time, it wasn’t time consuming at all!

INGREDIENTS FOR DONUTS

The ingredients needed for making pumpkin donuts are fairly standard baking components. We’ve got our flour, baking powder, baking soda, eggs and milk. To give it the pumpkin flavor we’ll use a full cup of pure pumpkin puree. And then we have the brown sugar for sweetness, cinnamon for that fall spiced feel, and coconut oil for moisture.

MARSHMALLOW CREME FROSTING

Nothing beats a warm, soft donut straight out of the oven. Except of course when it’s dipped in a deliciously sweet marshmallow crème frosting! Full of softened butter, powdered sugar, milk and a heaping cup of marshmallow crème. This recipe yields a thick, yet creamy frosting that is easy to decorate with. I used a combination of drizzling and dipping when it came to topping the donuts. And don’t forget that extra sprinkle of cinnamon for the finishing touches!
