Monster Mash Pumpkin Donuts

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Servings 18

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups solid pack pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cups (+2 tbs) all purpose flour
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp hot water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • This recipe makes 18 cream cheese glazed pumpkin donuts.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray donut pans with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder and salt until smooth. Add the flour and fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fill each donut well with about 1/4 cup of batter and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 12 – 14 minutes, or until donuts spring back when lightly touched. Allow to cool in pans for about 10 minutes, then finish cooling on racks.
  • Meanwhile, beat together the softened cream cheese, water, vanilla and salt. Add in the powdered sugar and beat on high until well combined.
  • Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze to thickly coat.
  • Decorate with plastic “vampire” teeth and candy eyes.

Notes

I found my vampire teeth at Target. I used kitchen scissors to cut each set in half. If left together the spring action of the teeth makes them pop out of the donuts!
