I think there are just a handful of perfect foods in this world. For me, donuts are one of those foods. I don’t know when my love affair with donuts began, I am just glad it did. Sure, some people who are cruel and heartless might say that donuts are bad for you, but I am here to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a well placed donut to brighten any day. So today I am sharing just such a recipe with you; one that will quicken any donut lovers heart. Get ready, because it is soo good!
Besides my love for donuts, I am also happy to admit that I am one of those people; a pumpkin spice-a-holic. I love it! Give me all of the pumpkin, in all of it’s forms, and add in the spice to make it even better. If you are not a fan, I bet you don’t like cuddly puppies either. Just kidding……
So before you go naysaying the pumpkin, go ahead and take just one bite of these morsels of deliciousness, and I promise you will be singing the praises of pumpkin spice too!

I love all things pumpkin. My favorite pie is pumpkin pie. With vanilla ice cream. I would love these donut holes.
Have a fabulous day. ☺

Yes pumpkin pie is the pinnacle alright! I am partial to cool whip myself for a topping, but ice cream would work pretty well too :)

Oh, I love donuts. I’m one of those crazy people that don’t really like pumpkin flavored things. LOL Regardless, I could probably handle these!

You and Des have this in common. He has loved doughnuts since babyhood and we get some good ones up here, but a local independent doughnut shop just closed! That said, we still have one in our town.
That also said, homemade is best and these look DIVINE. I can almost taste them. I need pumpkin things to contain real pumpkin so you win this one.

Boo. No! How can that happen? Cute Des.
We have a local one down the street we are trying to keep open until construction in front of it stops, because business is slow for them. They will not be closing on my watch!

I haven’t had donut holes since I was a teenager. I know that sounds crazy but it’s the God Honest Truth. I used to love donut holes but I never purchase them, I actually never eat donuts. Sounds crazy but it’s true. Loving this recipe I don’t have to purchase them, I can make them myself. Yummy :)
Well that needs to be remedied. Donut holes are really for all ages, you can just eat more that way since they are so small and all…. :)

Yummy! Those donut holes look so good!

These look delicious. I wonder if I can make them a little more healthy (and sorta still tasty) if I substitutde maple syrup for the sugars?

You had me at “baked”. I’m not frying anything because I’m inherently a bad cook and would probably light a fire with the hot oil!

Amen sister. The whole idea of frying something is inherently bad for me :)

Hi Jen, what happened to the doughnut holes was always one of life’s’ mysteries to me until our local bakers started selling them. It was a bit of an anticlimax, but I was glad they weren’t going to waste… Now I know they were created in a tin and aren’t the real holes, I’m gutted! I have no idea what pumpkin spice is, but it sounds nice, I image it to be cinnamon and nutmeg?

Haha! Finding out the truth about doughnuts can be hard. I just eat them though and ignore it :) Now if you lived here in the states you could buy everything pumpkin spice, even your toilet paper! It is kind of a joke around here.
