Pumpkin Doughnuts with Cream Cheese Pecan Frosting

by

Hands down, the BEST Pumpkin doughnuts of all time.  They are perfectly soft & fluffy, and covered in the creamiest cream cheese pecan frosting. And, aren’t they absolutely adorable?

I know I know, this is a super last minute post, but I HAD to share with you in the event you had time to whip these up before tomorrow’s feast.  Words can’t even describe the goodness.. every.single.bite gets more and more heavenly. Would ya just look at that moistness? (cringe).

I planned on bringing all 18 doughnuts into work yesterday to share with my lovely co-workers, but by complete accident, I gobbled a few down during the photoshoot (let’s get real, we knew that would happen).

For this go round, I used Pumpkin Pie Mix instead of pumpkin puree because naturally I grabbed the wrong item as I was zipping through the aisles of target the other day. And I actually LOVED how they turned out, so just FYI that pumpkin pie mix will work too.  AND they were beyond delicious!

Hopefully, I caught you in time or maybe you have all the ingredients in your casa to make these beauties for tomorrow’s gathering because they are an absolute MUST!

Either way, I hope you all have an AMAZING Thanksgiving with your friends and family.  We have so much to be thankful for!! 🙂

Oatmeal Doughnuts with Cookie Butter Pecan Glaze

by

Can anyone tell me how it is already mid-November?  Time has seriously been FLYING by this year, and it’s freakin’ me out just a tad! I’m not too upset because the holidays are just right around the corner, which means it’s time for all of those delicious baked goods to come back into my life once again.

There is something about the holiday’s and the cooler weather that makes me want to bake.  It could be the weather, but there is a high probability it’s my oversized sweater collection that makes me feel like it’s okay.

Let’s get real here everyone, who doesn’t love homemade baked goods? Well, let me just tell you a little bit about these Guilt-free Oatmeal Doughnuts with Cookie Butter Pecan Glaze.  Only one word can accurately describe them- WOWZA.

The doughnut is one thing, but the glaze is another.  A super creamy and decadent glaze that is so cookie buttery it will make you want to do back flips.

I’m not lying when I tell you this combo is U-N-R-E-A-L. Like melt in your mouth, foodgasm good, and I can assure you no one will be upset when these appear on the dessert (or breakfast) table.

I’m also not lying when I tell you I was straight up eating the cookie butter glaze out of the bowl with a spoon.

I think you should just go ahead and give it a whirl. Surprise everyone with something fun & different, and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
