Spiced Pumpkin Doughnuts at Doughnut Plant


I am the kind of girl who spends every Autumn in a frenzied attempt to consume all that is seasonal. I'm a sucker for almost every kind of pumpkin or apple flavored treat I can get my hands on and, luckily for me, they are very easy to find this year in NYC. Just imagine my delight upon seeing that a beloved doughnut purveyor had incorporated a flavor that was ever so Fall.

As with most Doughnut Plant creations, you can choose between the denser cake doughnut or the airier yeast doughnut. I generally tend to prefer the cake doughnut varieties but I could not resist how big and fluffy and, frankly, attractive the Spiced Pumpkin yeast doughnut looked sitting there on display in front of me. 

The lighter and chewier yeast doughnut maintained a nice pumpkin flavor that was complimented by the spiced glaze (I love cinnamon). A sprinkling of crunchy toasted pumpkin seeds gave it a little texture. I left happily swimming in Fall feel-good sentiments about my favorite season of the year.
