Heat or no heat, we are ready for fall.
Halloween costumes have been chosen, and plans are in the works.
Unfortunately, my pumpkins are not growing as well as I’d hoped.
Our new house has garden beds, and something is a bit off.
We did not have much success this year.
So, we will be buying pumpkins
for carving, and
for eating
We LOVE these doughnuts (even if they are fried)
For the doughnuts:
heat oil in a LARGE pot (I used canola oil)
over med- med/high
combine 1/3 cup of butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar
cream together and
add 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 egg
add 3/4 cup of pumpkin
about 2 cups of flour (I used a bit less because I wanted to use whole wheat)
1 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp of nutmeg
roll into balls (about 1 tbsp)
fry a few at a time
once slightly cooled roll in a mixture of cinnamon sugar – 4 tbsp of sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon
I love the flavors of fall {apparently so do my dogs}
Enjoy!
About Heather @French Press
These look so good!! I do have a weakness for fried food, especially, sweet fried food.
My children would love these.
Oh yum! I love pumpkin doughnuts, especially covered in cinnamon sugar!
So cute and delicious!
Gah. Halloween costumes. Sigh.
LOVE these donuts, I am oh-so-ready for fall!
Eek, I already know what I’m dressing up as, too. Yes, I still dress up. No, you’re never too old
and certainly never too old for donuts! LOVE these mini pumpkins ones!
Love that these are mini! Pumpkin donuts sound SO good right now…
I would love for you to share these with my readers at Mealtime Monday!

Oh my goodness- those look and sound amazing! Thanks for sharing!
My dogs like pumpkin, too. One Thanksgiving I made four pumpkin pies and while I was out of the house for a few minutes, the dogs ate 2. I was not feeling their Thanksgiving feast, at all. I love the flavors you have used in this recipe. I would love to include these in the Pumpkin Delights recipe series I am hosting in a few weeks. If you are interested send me an email and I will provide the details.
These look like yummy pumpkin bites! My toddler is in love with donut holes, so I might have to try making these next week. She also loves pumpkin, so it might be a match made in heaven.
I wanted to invite you to share your recipe on my blog, Confetti Diaries, link party this week. I know my readers will enjoy such fun fall inspiration. Hope to see you there!
