7 Days of Halloween is back this year, and I’m excited that this is my first post back from a bit of a break! I found this recipe a while ago when I was on Pinterest and it seemed super easy (and tasty!) to try. What better way to spend an afternoon in the Fall than baking something warm?! My Friday afternoon last week was spent making some cinnamon sugar pumpkin cake donuts.
