In reply to Ali. Hi Ali! Yes you can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours! Just let it rest on the counter for 20ish minutes to let is soften up!

Would it work to make the dough the night before and refrigerate until the morning?

In reply to Elaina Doak. These just aren't formulated to bake up rather than fry!

I really wish that I had read the comments before making this recipe. It was way to wet to make a traditional donut shape. I floured my silicone mat VERY generously and then floured the top of the dough. I was able to roll it out but it was impossible to pick up any kind of shape. Even used a bench scraper to try and scoop it. Nada. Ended up just dropping it in hot oil with tablespoons to make little donut (puffs)? Wouldn’t exactly call them holes.

In reply to Sofi | Broma Bakery. Why though? Did you encounter issues or is it purely for a healthier take?

In reply to Jana. I wouldn't recommend it! I would just look for a baked pumpkin donut recipe instead :)

Can you bake this instead of frying it?

These were so good! I had lots of leftover pumpkin puree to use up because i made pumpkin cream for coffee that only needed 3 tablespoons so this recipe was perfect to use the rest up. The dough was a bit sticky like people mentioned, but i made another plain donut recipe today as well and that dough was sticky too. I think donut dough is just stickier than bread dough. I just used a generous amount of flour to roll it out and brushed it off before frying. They came out sooooo delicious. I ran out of glaze halfway through– I had forgotten to get another bag of powdered sugar and didn’t make the full amount, so I rolled them in some granulated sugar mixed with pumpkin pie spice– perfect!

I just made these and omg they are delicious. The dough was sticky but just added flour when rolling. As any good baker would know! Thanks for this awesome recipe

I blame the author for this recipe. I am now making donuts once a month for weekend breakfast.
I made half the batch and used pumpkin from the garden. I strained mine for 30 minutes before starting the recipe to get out some of the excess moisture. My dough was a little sticky, but I just gradually added in a little flour until it resembled sugar cookie dough. I flours my work surface and my cutter and didn’t have any problems with the dough.
I fried mine in a cast iron skillet and half canola/vegetable oil (because that’s what I had). I used chop sticks to flip them in the oil and a mesh ladle to take them out onto a wire rack. Absolutely delicious.
