    This is the pumpkin doughnut recipe WW shared on their Instagram and it was originally in a post I did called 5 Easy Recipes You Can Make using canned pumpkin. I just transferred the recipe over to this post so it was easier to find.

    This recipe couldn't be easier and I'm sure you've seen similar recipes floating around online before. All you need is a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin. Both 15 oz in size. The total recipe makes 24 donuts and each donut is 3 points each. If you don't have spice cake mix yellow cake mix or chocolate cake mix works well. Don't like pumpkin use a 12 oz can of diet soda.

    Cans of pumpkin are sold all year long and you don't have to wait until Fall to enjoy this recipe. The only thing good about this time of year is when the stores start marking the canned pumpkin on sale so I always stalk up. Aldi has canned pumpkin for pretty cheap as well. Less than 80 cents a can

    Doughnut Pans

    Do you have a doughnut pan yet? If you don't, I suggest you get one. Baking your own doughnuts is a lot healthier than frying doughnuts. I've had the sudden urge to try frying doughnuts, but this method is a lot easier and it doesn't make your house smell like grease for a couple days. Pumpkin + doughnuts + morning coke (that's what I have instead of coffee) = one fabulous weekend breakfast.

    Here is the type of donut pan I own.
