Look at the inside of this pumpkin donut, isn´t it just screeeaming with softness? These pumpkin donuts are so soft, just like little pieces of clouds. They were so soft that I had to test a couple of times pressing the donut together and then wait for it to bounce back. It was just like magic :)

​

It was pumpkin season, and man I feel so bad writing it was, because I absolutely love pumpkin and cannot wait for next year when this gorgeous vegetable will be back. I decided to get creative and try sweet recipes with pumpkin. So I took my baked banana donuts recipe, changed a couple of things in it and et voila, these delicious cinnamony baked pumpkin donuts were born.

​

The smell of these freshly baked donuts is so warm and so cinnamony, it fills the house with such a wonderful holiday mood. And to those thinking "YUK, pumpkin in a donut, why, why??", I would just like to say that you don´t taste the pumpkin is the same way in the donuts as it tastes in some other dishes. To be honest, when I asked my family and friends who tried these, they had no clue it had pumpkin and also said it didn´t taste like pumpkin at all.

Happy Baking Lovelies!
