We’re welcoming in October this week so I’m sharing a week of pumpkin recipes to help get you in that Fall food mood!
 

You’re welcome.

I was so excited about this recipe I couldn’t possibly have waited another day to share it. These donuts are insanely delicious! Take your maple bacon donut craze and add in pumpkin? It’s kind of amazing. You can make them into mini donuts are full size, whatever kind of pan you have is cool. It’s hard to only eat one of these babies. I actually considered hoarding them all for myself. Moist pumpkin cake donuts, sweet maple glaze, and topped with crisp and smokey bacon? You need to try this! It may very well make your entire Fall!

When the donuts are finished baking, remove from pan and one at a time dip into maple glaze and then into bacon crumbles. Set on a cooling rack to cool.
 
 
Tip: Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper underneath the cooling rack to catch drips. It’ll save you the hassle of clean up later.

 

*Pumpkin Pie Spice Substitution: 1 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ground ginger, pinch cloves
