These Nutella Filled Pumpkin Shaped Donuts completely took over my FYP last fall, and now that we're heading into fall again, they're back everywhere. This time I couldn't resist making them—and honestly, they're even more fun than they look. They're pillowy soft donuts shaped like tiny pumpkins, lightly flavored with pumpkin spice, coated in cinnamon sugar, and generously filled with warm, gooey Nutella. Tell me a better fall treat. I'll wait.
