These are very good and I love the no-fried. The doughnuts cooled in no time. They are like a firmer pumpkin cake, but not hard or dry. The batter/dough is very doughy, so I recommend a ziploc bag and just cut off the tip - WAY EASIER than a pastry bag. It was hard still to get them in circles so the last leftover one I made in a stick shape - just a straight line. It tasted the same and was WAY easier so I will make all doughnut sticks next time. Brushing the icing was tough because mine was a bit thick so I just drizzled with a spoon. All came out delicious and a perfect fall treat!

Over a year later and I'm updating my review to give it a full five stars. Pre- doughnut pan I had a lot of issues getting a good rise. Now with the pan at my side I get rave reviews every time I make these. Best doughnuts ever!<br/><br/>I loved the flavor of these. They came out delicious. The only disappointment I had was in the lack of rise of the doughnuts.

I had to bake something with the pumpkin puree I just made with some of the early pumpkins in my garden. This was great, but not so much doughnut like, more like a great cookie. Very light and fluffy with a great spice taste! We followed the directions but for the second tray I made were just cookie shaped. We then made cream cheese frosting and spread it between two pumpkin cookies.... heavenly!
