Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a donut pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and egg until smooth.
Add the spice cake mix and stir until just combined; the batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag and pipe into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, depending on your pan size. For 3-inch donuts, bake about 9 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly pressed.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Dip each donut in melted butter, then toss in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Notes

Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
These donuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings like glaze or nuts.
