Celebrate the most loved flavor of fall with these delicious and easy to make Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Donuts. They are ready in less than 15 minutes!
I am a total pumpkin addict from the moment September 1st hits. I just can’t get enough! Right now, my absolute favorite treat are pumpkin spice cheesecake donuts.
From pumpkin chili to pumpkin cheesecake to pumpkin French toast, I even use cubes of pumpkin in appetizers versus just using pumpkin puree in recipes {you can read about how to cut a pumpkin here}.
These pumpkin donuts are the perfect combination of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice and cheesecake all mixed together for a pumpkin spice treat that is out of this world.
I am planning to package them up and give out to the teachers at my child’s school as a special fall treat. These gift tags will be absolutely perfect for attaching on my the gifts too.
I love making these pumpkin spice donuts using cake mix because they come together quick and easy.

My daughter absolutely loves making donuts at home so I usually get her to help me in the kitchen when I make these. She is so excited to give them to her teachers too. The easiest way to make donuts at home is by using a donut baking pan!
