These were all right, but we were hard pressed to taste the pumpkin. Other then that they were easy to make. I'll keep looking tho.

These are yummy baked donuts. Of course they don’t have the exact consistency of fried donuts, but if you use shortening, you’ll get a closer ‘feel’. I sprinkled roasted chopped pecans over the glaze too.

These have an excellent flavor even if they're not exactly like a fried donut. I took the liberty of making a maple glaze for them but substituting maple syrup for some of the vanilla extract and milk.

The texture was more muffin than donut, but the flavor was amazing and the icing was perfect! I got a lot of compliments from the office and will be making them again... Only calling them muffins.

These were very tasty, but not exactly like donuts, hence the 4 star rating. But on flavor they were a 5! I used half whole wheat and half white flours, and I used a baggie and snipped the corner off to make the donuts. Fairly quick and easy and much healthier than the alternative. My children loved them and I ended up having to make a second batch right away. Thanks for the recipe!
