Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a donut pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, melted butter, and egg, mixing until smooth.
Stir in the spice cake mix until just incorporated; the batter will be thick.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag and fill each donut cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Dip each donut in melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Notes

For best results, ensure the pumpkin puree is pure, not spiced or sweetened.
Feel free to adjust cinnamon to taste or add nutmeg for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
