Delicious Pumpkin Chai Pudding Donuts
Pumpkin Chai Pudding Donuts are a delicious baked donut with all those great fall flavors!!! Pumpkin and Chai are so good together and these donuts are so easy to make.

The baked pumpkin chai donuts are dipped into a simple icing and dusted with cinnamon sugar. I love baking baked donuts because they are so much easier than frying donuts. I loved the pumpkin donuts I had made so this was a fun addition to my donut recipes.

How to Make Pumpkin Chai Pudding Donuts
I love that I can have a batch of these donuts in the oven in less than 15 minutes!

To make your pumpkin chai donuts you start with flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda.

Then you add the pumpkin spice pudding mix.

You need some chai drink mix to get all those nice, warm chai spice flavors.

Wet ingredients are sour cream, milk, oil, and an egg.

Whisk the wet ingredients together and add to the dry ingredients.
Then carefully spoon the donut batter into an oil-sprayed donut baking pan. You want each donut section to be half-filled.

Bake and let your donuts cool well on a wire rack before icing them.

- Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing and finish cooling on a cooling rack.
Chai Icing
- In a small sauce pan add the milk and chai. Turn on the heat to low and stir frequently until the milk mixture is warm. Add the powdered sugar and whisk until combined.
- Dip cooled donuts into the icing and place on a cooling rack.
- I like to double-dip. So I dip 6 donuts once, and then go back around a dip them a second time. Immediately after dipping the second time I sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Serve immediately or you can store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
Fall is the season for cozy sweaters, colorful leaves, and of course, pumpkin spice everything.

Hi,
Made the donuts today
I used a 3.4oz box of pudding..it didn’t say, is that right?
The batter was dense and and kinda sticky..I added about 6T of milk to thin..still kinda gooey..not a typical batter..I used silicone donut pans
They baked up well, but a pretty soft..kinda unique texture
Is that typical?
Can you give me your advice?
I really want these to work! I love the idea using chai drink mix!
Thanks!
Yes the batter is definitely thick and sticky. It has a very soft texture because of the pudding mix.
