Yeah, the pumpkin donut itself is good, but it’s that buttery vanilla/pumpkin spice glaze that really has my heart. Baked & not fried, so it’s basically healthy, right 😉

Homemade Pumpkin Spice

This pumpkin pie spice recipe might not actually call for pumpkin, but it’s a critical ingredient for every pumpkin recipe on this list! Pumpkin spice can typically be purchased pre-mixed in the spice section of your local grocery store (for a pretty penny) but I prefer to mix up my own with this easy recipe.
