These Pumpkin Streusel Donuts donuts are sweet, pumpkin-y, and full of Fall spiced flavor. The streusel topping and sweet glaze really put them over the top.
I bought a donut pan a while back, but rarely use it. That's a real shame, because donuts.
I decided to change that this weekend.
These donuts taste delicious, look great, and are super easy to make since they're essentially just a gussied up boxed cake mix.
This recipe comes from the blog Jennifer Meyering.

Pumpkin Streusel Donuts
These pumpkin donuts are topped with streusel and sweet glaze! They're super easy to make, too, because they start out with a box of cake mix.
Ingredients
For the donuts
- 16.5 oz box spice cake mix
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoon butter melted
For the streusel topping
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoon butter melted
For the glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon milk
Instructions
To make the donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your muffin tin(s) with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
- Scoop the batter into a piping bag or large zip top bag. Snip off the tip/one corner of the bag and pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling about halfway.
To make the streusel
- In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the streusel topping. Stir until everything is combined and a bit crumbly.
- Top the donuts with ~1 tbs of the streusel mixture.
- Bake 8-10 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
To make the glaze
- Stir the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and the desired consistency has been reached. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled donuts.

Thank you!!

Yes! So true! And my photos are getting there. You are too kind. Still learning how to use my new camera. Can I ask what setting you used to shoot your feature photo with the "bite" taken out? I think I need a different lens or to fiddle with lighting. Your aperture affect has got me mesmerized!
A_Nerd_Cooks
YOU are too kind! I use a 50mm lens, and that photo was shot in aperture priority (Av) mode. I believe I had the f-stop set at either 2.2 or 2.5
Liz
So I think I either need to adjust my lighting (take photos in daylight if I ever leave work on time) or possibly buy a new lens. My f-stop will not set below a 3.5 but I'm also just learning so maybe it does and I have no idea how to do it!
Thanks for the info! I am going to attempt a photo shoot this weekend 🙂

Yes yes yes to natural light! I have to do almost all of my photography on the weekends (at least during the winter) because of this.

It is a problem! I just tried to take some shots with an DIY indoor setup and nothing compares to sunlight. Though, it may have to do until spring comes or I may never get a blog post done!

For a second I thought I was looking at my own blog post from the future lol! I am doing one next week but on GF donuts. Your photos are better 😉
