Expert Tips

  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough donuts, so be gentle when combining the wet and dry ingredients. For this reason, stick to a mixing bowl and a hand whisk, and don’t use a stand mixer.
  • Piping Bag Trick: Use a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off to easily and neatly fill the donut pan.
  • Cool Before Glazing: Make sure the donuts have cooled slightly before dipping them into the glaze to prevent them from sliding off.
  • Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing the donut batter.
  • Biscoff butter, AKA lotus biscoff’s cookies even though it is a UK product here in the United States is easily found in most grocery stores.

Storing

Store these Pumpkin Biscoff Donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just tightly wrap them with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.

FAQ’s

Can I make these donuts ahead of time for a special occasion?

Absolutely! You can make the donuts ahead of time and glaze them just before serving to keep them fresh and the glaze looking its best.

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?

Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin puree if you prefer. Simply roast a small pumpkin, remove the skin, and puree the flesh until smooth.

What’s the best way to crush Biscoff cookies for garnish?

You can crush Biscoff cookies by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently crushing them with a rolling pin or the back of a spoon.
