Who knew baked pumpkin donuts were so easy to make? I suppose pumpkin season is all year long for some people, not just fall. But this pumpkin donut recipe should seriously be on your list of must-make breakfasts this fall.

Enjoy these pumpkin donuts with a nice cup of coffee, tea or top them with cream cheese frosting and crispy bacon for a weirdly delicious dessert.
