Donut Baking!

    Hello everybody, today we were in the mood to bake something delicious. We really wanted to bake doughnuts so mom got on the computer and found a recipe for Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream Glazed Donuts. Now doesn't that sound amazing! Well, we decided that that would be a good thing to bake on a fall day. So we got all the ingredients and started mixing, tasting, scooping some pumpkin mix into a pan, and then we baked the donuts. Then we took them out of the oven and tasted them and loved them, so we thought you would like it too. Here is the recipe! Hope you like them as much as we did! 

Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream Glazed Donuts



3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix
3/4 cup ice cream (measured before melting)
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream (you my need a couple tablespoons more if too thick)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Place flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, sugar, pumpkin, egg, vanilla and pudding mix into a large mixing bowl.

3. Place ice cream into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until just barely melted. Pour into mixing bowl and combine with other ingredients until well combined. Scoop batter into prepared donut pan (We used my cake pop pan for doughnut holes!)   Bake for 15-20 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
4. To prepare the glaze, place powdered sugar and cream into a bowl, whisking to combine. Add more cream if needs thinning out. Dip tops of donuts in glaze and serve!
Makes 9-11 donuts
Love ya!
