BOO! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Are you searching for a recipe for Halloween and your horror party? Why not bake my Pumpkin Donut Ghosts and Monsters for Halloween? My monsters and ghosts look more cute than scary and are perfect for the softies among Halloween fans. You need pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, olive oil, flour, baking powder, and homemade Pumpkin Spice for this. The spices I use for the homemade Pumpkin Spice are Cinnamon, Nutmeg, powdered cloves, and powdered ginger. Just mix them and add to the dough. For this recipe, you need pumpkin puree from a nutmeg pumpkin. Since I tend to make lots of pumpkin puree on hand and freeze it, I can start baking the donuts right away. If you don’t have pumpkin puree on hand, you can find the recipe here.
GOOGLY EYES FOR HALLOWEEN GHOSTS AND MONSTERS
In September, I was at the Südback in Stuttgart and received some Googly Eyes, Brillies, and Knutschies from CSM as a gift. They are perfect for my Halloween ghosts and monsters. Some of the monsters have two eyes, others three. I frosted the pumpkin donuts in three different versions and decorated them with the Googly Eyes & Co. They are also tasty if you brush them with some melted butter right after baking while they are still warm and dip them into a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
I bake my Halloween ghosts in the oven and do not deep fry them. You’ll need a donut baking tin* for it, though. If you like donuts, you might also like my Persian Love Donuts for Valentine’s Day, Baked Brownie Donuts, or Persian Style Mini Donuts in Syrup. Halloween without a pumpkin is impossible for me to imagine! Here, you can find a selection of sweet-to-savory pumpkin recipes.
