Maple Pumpkin Mini Donuts with Hot Cocoa Glaze
My oldest son Chase is obsessed with donuts and every year for his birthday he asks for a donut tower instead of a cake. I usually get a variety of Krispy Kreme Donuts to fill the tower and after everyone sings Happy Birthday, the kids all grab their favorite flavor. It’s a great tradition that we started and now everyone expects the Krispy Kreme donuts at his parties for dessert.
This particular donut recipe screams fall, Halloween and all the pumpkin spice things. Pumpkin and chocolate are a good combination and being that Chase loves hot cocoa, I wanted to incorporate that into the recipe. My other son Cameron claims he is a “chocolatarian” so he is all in favor of this chocolate glaze idea. While this is not a birthday donut recipe, there is no reason why you couldn’t throw some sprinkles on top to make it festive.
I have to warn you though, these mini donuts are dangerous. They are so easy to just pop in your mouth and without realizing it, you have consumed five of them. I guarantee, you can’t have just one.
Cheers!
