Cold hands, warm donuts.

That’s the unofficial motto of the season, and easy fall donuts are here to back it up.

This isn’t some complicated bakery project that requires a fryer and a prayer.

You can make these simple, cozy, spiced treats without covering your kitchen in powdered sugar and regret.

Fall shows up in every bite – apple cider, pumpkin spice, maple glaze, cinnamon sugar – and it all fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.

We gathered 33 recipes that do one thing extremely well: make fall donuts feel doable.

You don’t need a mixer the size of a spaceship or rare ingredients from the top shelf of some specialty store.

Just a bowl, a pan, and the willingness to get a little flour on your sweater.

These easy fall donuts range from baked to fried, classic to creative.

You’ll find options for weekend brunch, school snacks, or the sudden urge to prove you can bake something that doesn’t come in a box.

Your kitchen is about to smell better than any candle, and all you did was stir and bake.

Or fry – no judgment here.

Easy fall donuts aren’t about perfection.

They’re about that first bite when the outside’s still warm and the inside tastes like autumn.

Let’s make it happen.
