Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream Glazed Donuts

My Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream Glazed Donuts are too good to pass up! Enjoy!

You are in for the ultimate treat with my Baked Pumpkin Ice Cream Glazed Donuts! I am trying to keep my composure while writing this intro. I am in love with these donuts, nothing else to say. Well, I will say more. They are soft, baked, topped with a sweet glaze and full of pumpkin spice and vanilla ice cream baked inside!

Now, don’t expect to take a bite and taste the ice cream. It is added more for a perfectly soft bouncy texture and vanilla kick.

Hope you all enjoy my donuts! Yay!!

I added 2 Tablespoons of vanilla pudding mix, but have made the donuts without. I like the flavor and texture it brings, but if you don’t have it you can make without.

Add The Secret Ingredient!

    Can you do a muffin with this recipe?
    Just incase I do not win the dounut pan 🙂

    1. Jenny

      Hi Patty, I’d start with Mini-muffins to try it out. Haven’t done any other form than the doughnut pan 🙂

  2. Christine

    These are by far my favorite baked donuts, and no other recipe comes close to comparing. My issue is- what do I do when I want a great donut that isn’t pumpkin? Can I omit it? I feel like leaving it out will do something to the texture and ruin what i love about these donuts. Please help!!

  3. Lana @ Never Enough Thyme

    Oh, wow, these sound truly amazing! I’d be afraid I’d eat the entire recipe all by myself 🙂

  4. Living The Sweet Life

    DELICIOUS!! I recently bought a doughnut baking tray, I think this may very well be the first doughnuts I bake :). I love that you added the ice cream, I made ice cream bread before using and the consistency is to die for.
