Oh boy, we can see why Nadine's kids request these doughnuts. They are warm and tender, with a cake-like texture. The doughnut itself has a hint of pumpkin flavor and isn't overly sweet. The sugar and pumpkin spice mixture they're coating in adds just the right amount of spice and sweetness. Serve for breakfast or dessert alongside a cup of coffee for a yummy fall treat.
