Tis the season for pumpkin! Everything is pumpkin in the fall and I LOVE it! Pumpkin is something you either love or hate and I am in the category of loving everything pumpkin and loving everything fall. Now is a great time to try out some new pumpkin recipes.
This Pumpkin Honey Doughnut recipe is best when eaten fresh and warm. These are a delicious dessert or a special treat for breakfast. Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The puree is high in nutrition so you won’t feel as guilty eating these doughnuts as you would traditional doughnuts.
