As Halloween approaches, it’s time for more treats and fun in the kitchen. The kids and I combine our love for Disney and fall baking. Make your mornings a bit brighter with these fun baked Mickey Pumpkin Donuts! It’s an easy Disney Halloween recipe that the kids will definitely enjoy..

Each Mickey Donut is dipped in orange and green candy melts to look like pumpkins, then decorated with a cute face and ears. They tastes as cute as they look too – they have a great soft texture while the outside candy coating adds a bit of crunch that melts in your mouth.

How To Make Your Baked Mickey Pumpkin Donuts Ahead Of Time

If you want to make your pumpkin donuts ahead of time, then you can prep the baked donuts before beforehand. Bake the donuts, let them cool and add them to a freezer bag or airtight food storage container. Then, you can decorate them as you get closer to the time that you want to serve them. Just be sure you’ve allowed time for the candy coating to set!

Keeping Your Pumpkin Donuts Fresh

After you’ve decorated the donuts, keep them fresh by storing them in airtight food storage containers. For best freshness, enjoy the donuts within 3-4 days. Keep them sealed in-between enjoying them.

Can You Freeze Mickey Pumpkin Donuts?

Yes! You can easily freeze your Mickey Pumpkin Donuts by storing them in a freezer bag. You want to prevent freezer burn as much as possible. They’ll last up to 3 months in the freezer. Let them thaw to room temperature before enjoying again. Toss the donuts after 3 months in the freezer.

How To Make Mickey Pumpkin Donuts

Preheat your oven to 350 degree’s and spray a doughnut baking pan with pam baking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Spoon batter into doughnut pan and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 6 minutes before removing and placing the doughnuts onto a wire rack. Repeat steps until all batter is used.

For the vanilla icing and decorating: Using a standing mixer, combine the powdered sugar, corn syrup, milk and vanilla extract and mix on medium to high speed until smooth and thick.

Scoop about 1/4 C of the icing into 2 bowls. Add a few drops of green to one bowl. Add a few drops of yellow to the second bowl. Scoop the two icing’s into their own piping bag.

Add a few drops of the orange gel food coloring into the remaining white icing. Scoop about 5 TBSP of orange icing into a piping bag and set aside.

Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the top corners of the doughnut for Mickey’s ears. Place an orange candy melt into the slits.

Place doughnuts onto a wire rack and carefully pour the remaining orange icing onto the doughnuts. Allow to dry for 30 minutes.

Carefully push in a pixie stick into the top center of the doughnut in between the ears.

Cut the tip of the green piping bag and pipe green icing onto the pixie stick. Make sure the stick is completely coated. Allow to dry for 30 minutes.

Using the green piping bag, pipe 3 lines onto the “Stem”. Using the orange piping bag, pipe the details of the pumpkin onto the doughnuts. Allow to dry for 30 minutes.
