I was so excited about this recipe I couldn’t possibly have waited another day to share it. These donuts are insanely delicious! Take your maple bacon donut craze and add in pumpkin? It’s kind of amazing. You can make them into mini donuts are full size, whatever kind of pan you have is cool. It’s hard to only eat one of these babies. I actually considered hoarding them all for myself. Moist pumpkin cake donuts, sweet maple glaze, and topped with crisp and smokey bacon? You need to try this! It may very well make your entire Fall!
