Pumpkin Carrot Cake Donuts

We are MAJOR homemade donut fans! They are so easy to make, thanks to two of my favorite baking gifts EVER! For Father’s Day, Emily gifted me this set of two donut pans (they’re also included as part of my Father’s Day gift guide) and for my birthday my mom gifted me silicone piping bags with tips.

I love to bake with the girls and we’ve enjoyed testing out new donut recipes. We love our baked donuts to have a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft, cake-like interior. We recently tried out a two-ingredient donut recipe from The Baker Mama. Her two-ingredient donuts come together easily and the recipe can be modified to make so many flavor combinations. Since Fall is officially here, we tried out a pumpkin carrot cake donuts variation!

Ingredients

• 1 box carrot cake mix
• 1 15 oz can of pumpkin
• Splash of milk
• 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/4 cup cream cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Spray two donut pans with cooking spray (or wipe with butter) and set aside

• Fill piping bag with combined mixture and pipe into donut pan. Make sure to fill the ring as completely as possible and slightly press the mixture into the bottom of the donut ring.
• Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the donuts spring slightly back. Allow donuts to cool for 5 minutes in pan before removing.
• Combine confectioners sugar, cream cheese, and splash of milk. Add more sugar or milk depending on preference.
