Not done a donut post since my ‘dirty donut’ recipe a while back and we won’t go into what the Urban Dictionary informed me of what that term (which I innocently thought I’d invented) referenced so I’ll keep this title clean! Boring, but family-friendly.
At least I don’t need to bang out an essay on what’s in these donuts, it’s pretty clear from the title- it’s what it says on the can. Is that the saying?! I’m way too overworked to think clearly so I’ll leave the idioms aside (bar the one I’ve attempted).
In my opinion, these donuts tasted darn good without anything on the side, but I had a heck load of pumpkins still leftover from my Halloween bash so I had to use them up someway, somehow, and caramel seemed like the only way to go.
So how to make these simple cinnamon donuts you ask with this glorious accompanying pumpkin caramel? Well here you go…
